Avalanche - Another Sky

Desperation on every street corner

Let the blues through, they’ll restore order

They are not bad men

They’re in schools, they’re your boyfriends

A man shot dead while the world slept

The killer free, the police said

«a spider lived under my bed

And I was scared, I broke its legs»

These days have no up or down

What the fuck keeps us hanging around?

In the barracks, behind the keyboards

We are the bird-song, we are the seabed

Back in the trees, saying words wrong

The bailiffs climb and find us

Holding water in our hands

A nurse was thrown into their van

«an avalanche fell from your roof

You let it drown and bury you"

When you hold them to account

They’ll spit you out

Just a bad taste in their mouth
