The English Ruse

(album: Matador - 2015)

I'm league with the humans
I'm a who!
It don't seem to make much sense

We've been living a cold lie
What a scene!
A raw deal for everyone

I'm unable to sleep at nights
I wonder why…

I feel my temperature rising…in the dark

A hunger for the sun…for another life
And the tupolevs send warning
So what they say!
It happens all the time…all the time

3-6-9 the goose drank wine
The big divide is our design
It's not our fight
The bullets fly but they're too blind
To put it right
All this searching and all of the calculations
I'll take my suitcase
I'm cutting loose to some other place

Come on…
I'm a who…
I'm a who…

I'm league with the humans
I'm a who!
It don't seem to make much sense

We've been living a cold lie
What a scene!
A hunger for the sun…for another life

3-6-9 the goose drank wine
The big divide is our design
It's not our fight
The bullets fly but they're too blind
To put it right
All this searching and all these indecisions
I'll take my suitcase
I'm cutting loose to some other place

I'm cutting loose…
