lyrics

In my city / shifting sands lie under stone / holy waters / orange waves on private shores / look out or be swallowed whole / living’s not for everyone / hold on to your mother tongue

And resurrection is the only way to cope / rubber bullets broken bones / over and over keep the score / and if you find yourself all strung / choking on your half a lung / hold on to your mother tongue

In my city / when it rains it floods / when it’s hot it boils / we were born in hidden corridors / keep the kids away from doors and windows / lucky blue eye hanging on the walls

Living’s not for everyone / hold on to your mother tongue
