We Are Only... Lyrics by Taking Pictures

Friends Are Ghosts

2002

[Verse 1]
So much is lost
In translation
And we are only
Invisible shadows
Taking everything
We've been handed
And throwing what remains
Out the window
Onto the sidewalk
Out the window
Onto the sidewalk
Out the window
Onto the sidewalk
Out the window
Out the window
[Verse 2]
Your bottles break
(There are no stars)
Against passing cars
(But lights, the)
Your containers make
(Cars of cities, the)
Up our landscape
(Cars and careless)
Blankets of glass
(There are no stars)
Keep the curb so warm
(But lights, the)
Fading backfires
(Cars of cities, the)
Wе thought you were bombs
(Cars and carelеss)
The traffic comes in waves
The traffic comes in waves
