lyrics

DIARY OF DIRTY DRESSES

the kitchen knife will do my haircut
the dictionnary knows my name
and i will knit myself a superhero suit
made from yesterdays pain

then i open up the window
and then i spread my arms and fly
it's a sunny day and you can see how the streets get crowded
by and by

and the smoke of my cigarette
looks like stripes of condensation
there's always something you can leave behind
for your orientation

i will be recognized by tourists only
cause natives seldom watch the sky
even if they take a sunbath
they close their eyes

there's a geography of rooftops
there's a choreography of cars in motion
there's a carpet made of tracks and fields and forests
and then there is the ocean

and i will hang out with the seagulls for a while
cause they know how to appear and to disappear in style
and they steal from the ships and they steal from the sailors
coming out of the blue in their dirty white dresses
and we will meet at the peer to roepen our old soers
and i will wave them goodbye and go wherever i'm let
and i will wave them goodbye and go...
