Track from our EP "Marvel at Elephants"

lyrics

Can’t come along

The people from the Italian restaurant have put tables and chairs in the street
It’s one of those hot summer nights the lights seem to pull you away
A juggler with his fire maces reminds me of Avignon
How come all this perfectness so strong how come I can’t come along?

A girl on her motorbike, candles in the open windows
White curtains blowing in tasty air this could be here or Amsterdam
The Arabs are playing backgammon, the whores are having a little chat
The more everything’s finds its place the less I find my own

Sunlight in the cotton wood trees, southern light in a northern city
There’s a man and his child from a handicapped group having ice cream in their wheelchair
And as the darkness slowly sets in salvation seems within reach
People going to a saver place
How come I can’t come along?

There’s a broken window in a parking car
Maybe someone had thrown a stone
As I walk on by through the shattered glass
I get a slight feeling of dawn

And as I try to kiss you
You just turn away and smile
I saw that you’ve been heading for another place
How come I can’t come along?

I can’t come along
Can’t come along
I can’t come along
Can’t come along
