Latin Roots
(专辑: Steady Diet Of Nothing - 1991)
Lying on our backs, This is your parents' bed, A
good place to be laid 'cos it's so neatly made. Staring at the
ceiling, Vein to vein the
lines look the
same As the
ones that you're seeing, And then you start speaking: Racing your father's footsteps in your mother's shoes, Going up and over and across your latin roots. Point points back to its origin, Across the
world cogs are clogged with the
sand, Here the
air breathes freely and our tongues work loosely, Border approaches border, You're using your hands and smearing your r's. I'm looking over my shoulder, Strained resistance to scour the
door for your father's footsteps or your mother's shoes, Coming up and over, cut across your latin roots. It's time to meet you makers.
