Flags
de Damon Albarn
Now you left yourself there on the wall
Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete
Here on earth, the Sun in the sky, between my teeth
Looking down, shaking somehow, older than mine
Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers
Choked up on the cheek of having hair like Jesus
The flags are breezing with a brand new feeling
Expensive seats full of abandoned reason
The Sun cries tears, and they land inside ya
You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah
That's when the world got involved and I woke up older
With the flag of surrender draped across my shoulder
Remember before? When we cared about things like
Who was the tallest, waiting around for the adults to stop talking
But they can't see past what absorbs them
When I grow up, I'll do it different
Tryna change the world by wishing
If I could have it all, whatever I liked
Just want everyone to be alright
To get a little respite from the night after night of it
I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight
I left myself there on the wall, looking up
At the pictures in the pebble-dash, glistening bright
Listen, I might've drunk one too many years
'Cause when the Sun sheds tears now, they set me alight
Now you left yourself there on the wall
Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete
Here on earth, the Sun in the sky, between my teeth
Looking down, shaking somehow, older than mine
I want you to know, everything that you feel, felt it before
Promises soar close to the Sun, when all's said and done
I cherish it, stitch a tear to a prayer
Fly it so they see
See it turn to sails that catch the wind, and follow it until it leaves
Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers
Choked up on the cheek of having hair like Jesus
The flags are breezing with a brand new feeling
Expensive seats full of abandoned reason
The Sun cries tears, and they land inside ya
You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah
Listen, I might've drunk one too many years
'Cause when the Sun sheds tears now, they set me alight
I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight
