Song For Clay (Disappear Here)

[00:01.07] I am trying to be heroic
[00:06.72] In an age of modernity
[00:12.79] I am trying to be heroic
[00:18.93] Because all around me history sings
[00:24.92] So I enjoy and I devour
[00:30.87] Flesh and wine and luxury
[00:37.19] But in my heart, I am lukewarm
[00:43.30] Nothing ever really touches me
[00:52.62]
[01:33.21] At the Trois Garçons
[01:38.32] We meet at precisely 9 o'clock
[01:45.22] I order the foie gras
[01:50.40] And I eat it with complete disdain
[01:57.59] Bubbles rise in champagne flutes
[02:02.56] But when we kiss, I feel nothing
[02:08.26] Feasting on sleeping pills
[02:13.24] And Marlboro Reds (Self-pity won't save you)
[02:19.41] Oh, how our, how our parents, they suffered for nothing
[02:26.77] Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
[02:29.51] Like the 80's never happened
[02:32.62] People are afraid, are afraid to merge on the freeway
[02:42.04] Disappear here
[02:44.58]
[02:55.74] We stroll past the queue
[03:01.21] Into the magazine launch party
[03:08.05] I am handed a pill
[03:13.18] And I swallow with complete disdain
[03:20.13] Kick-drum pounds, off beat high-hats
[03:25.16] Remember to look bored
[03:31.05] We suck each other's faces
[03:35.79] And make sure we aren't noticed (The cocaine won't save you)
[03:42.02] Because East London is a vampire
[03:45.26] It sucks the joy right out of me
[03:48.37] How we long for corruption in these golden years
[03:54.45] Oh, how our, how our parents, they suffered for nothing
[04:01.66] Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
[04:04.90] Like the 80's never happened
[04:07.67] People are afraid, are afraid to merge on the freeway
[04:17.33] Disappear here
[04:23.51] Disappear here
[04:29.77] Disappear here
[04:36.05] Disappear here
[04:42.02] Disappear here
[04:45.10]
