Persepolis Lyrics by Habibi

Habibi

0

[Verse 1]
He lived verse for verse, he never read words, he always memorized
He grew lemon trees from which he would breed yellow canary birds
He smoked his red rocks, he never listened to clocks, he was a visionary
He wore a true Gypsy's badge from a different land
He was a prophet of mine

[Refrain]
Persepolis he was his own police, he was a prophet of mine
Persepolis he was his own police, he was a prophet of mine

[Verse 2]
He raised eight soldiers young, he watched his life come undone, his courage bright as a sun
He had eyes that could sing, he had my daddy in spring, he was a warm hearted man
He laid side by side the love of his life until the day he died
He held me real tight and then he knighted a knight, he was prophet of mine

[Refrain]
Persepolis he was his own police, he was a prophet of mine
Persepolis he was his own police, he was a prophet of mine
