Lanterns Lyrics by LUCA (TX)

Mistakes to Learn From

2014

You'll never guess who I've been talking to
It's somebody who once has betrayed you
He told me everything he's catalogued inside his brain
Like Chinese paper lanterns dangling on a train
He told me everything at 3pm, October 4th
Drug store, missed his children, mechanical horse

Been talking to Virgil
Been talking about you
Been talking to Virgil
Been talking about you

Virgil did you in, he told me all about you again

So drown your sorrows in a plastic cup
Reflect on all the things you've managed to mess up
Remember once and twice and maybe three times again
All the words you've spoken to me
When your words are flowing freely
With your chin

Been talking to Virgil
Been talking about me
Been talking to Virgil
Been talking about me

Virgil did you in, he told me I should try again

So pack up all your things and all your thoughts
Get on the train
See the Chinese paper lanterns
Swaying side by side in patterns
Tell yourself this is the last time that you'll think of me
Tell your children you will miss them
Give them quarters and two kisses, glide away

Been talking to Virgil
Been talking about them
Been talking to Virgil
Been talking about them

Virgil did us in, he told us all about them again
