Siamese Cities Lyrics by Metric

Grow Up And Blow Away (2001 Edition)

0

[Verse 1]
I said I'm sorry to change my mind
It was a little bit cold that night
Was dreading the ride back to Little Italy
And needing to hide out from my mind

[Chorus]
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why'd you leave me in between Siamese cities?

[Verse 2]
I saw the sky in you
What did you see in me?
This Rubbermaid's had better days
Shake it out, static anonymity
Vanity, dull roar die down

[Chorus]
When you take, you turn me over
From the street, rock radio plays Crimson and Clover
Over and over
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why'd you leave me in between Siamese cities?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me in between Siamese cities?

[Bridge]
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, temporarily
She is shaking out static anonymity
She is shaking out static anonymity
She is shaking (temporarily)
Shaking (temporarily)
(Uh-uh)
She is shaking out static anonymity
She is shaking out static anonymity
Anonymity (sha-la-la-la)
Anonymity (sha-la-la-la)
(Uh-uh)
Anonymity (sha-la-la-la)
Anonymity (sha-la-la-la)
She is shaking out static anonymity (sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)
She is shaking out static anonymity (sha-la-la-la, temporarily)

[Outro]
(Uh-uh)
Anonymity (sha-la-la-la)
Anonymity (sha-la-la-la)
Anonymity (sha-la-la-la)
