We Drew The Maps

(album: Little Round Mirrors - 2006)

We named the constellations,
We drew the maps and we divided up the nations,
Indulged our fetishes and fascinations,
And here we thought that's all we ever wanted.

We stayed up late,
Connecting names with faces,
Kept ourselves entertained,
Memorizing dates and places,
Dates and places, dates and places.

We put the moon in orbit,
And set the tides in motion,
We paved and lit the roads,
That joined the cities that we constructed,
You bent the truth,
But I didn't mind,
'Cause we made the rules,
And every way that we could break them,
We could break them, we could break them.

We named the constellations,
We drew the maps and we divided up the nations,
And now I'm so tired,
And now I'm so tired,
"You go to sleep" she said,
"And I will be there when you wake up."
