You'll ask me for a cigarette
But we don't go out anymore
Who becomes your Mother?
And who becomes your Father?
The dictators are dictating
We'll keep dancing on volcanoes
Has it changed beyond measure?
Have all the foundations gone?
Have we found a new clever?
Are we all here because of trauma?
Did we all lose something somewhere?
Do you remember when you were nine or ten
When everything shattered?
You'll ask me for a cigarette
But we don't go out anymore
Who becomes your Mother?
And who becomes your Father?
The dictators are dictating
We'll keep dancing on volcanoes
And I was never any good at being young
You lose and you win some
She came in from the West
Whatever that means
The grit of time got stuck
Between my teeth
You'll ask me for a cigarette
But we don't go out anymore
Who becomes your Mother?
And who becomes your Father?
The dictators are dictating
We'll keep dancing on volcanoes
Are we all here because of trauma?
Did we all lose something somewhere?
Do you remember when you were nine or ten
When everything shattered?
You'll ask me for a cigarette
But we don't go out anymore
Who becomes your Mother?
And who becomes your Father?
You'll ask me for a cigarette
But we don't go out anymore
Who becomes your Mother?
And who becomes your Father?
The dictators are dictating
We'll keep dancing on volcanoes
