Barcelona

When the light cuts like a knife

Under the water it feels nice

On your skin

From where you’ve been

You’ve got a fever, hallucinating

And your dreams just get it wrong

You wake up and the passion is gone

As the toxins leak from your pores

You hear them talking outside your door

Roller-skating down through Malasaña

We’re cascading through all our desires

I’m not holding out

That’s what I’m about

Wait now Barcelona I won’t take anymore than I need to

Won’t give it up too soon

Stand alone by the water

Lady liberty’s daughter has a message for you

Here’s something you can’t do

Not alone

There’s a truth

You said it first

Now it’s everything I have rehearsed

It’s the mood that gets understood

I don’t quite have these young professional grooves

Roller-skating down through Malasaña

We’re cascading through all our desires

I’m not holding out

That’s what I’m about

Wait now Barcelona I won’t take anymore than I need to

Won’t give it up too soon

Stand alone by the water

Lady liberty’s daughter has a message for you

Here’s something you can’t do

Not alone
