3 Swallows - Protomartyr

I’m getting old

Worse than before

Un-invincible

Close but not pitiful

I discovered

To drink it slowly

The great unfolding

And wait for their arms to hold me

Down the hall

Alcohol for free

All alone with me

All alone with me

You used to be so beautiful

But tomorrow dawns for me

I was there

This city far away

Gone are all the pressures of

All that comes with getting old

You used to be so beautiful

But tomorrow dawns for me

And three swallows there for me

And I used to light my cigarettes

On the fire that you had in your eyes

And I was the king of hanging around with wastes of time

And three swallows there for me

And three swallows there for me

For me

For me

For me
