Michael Penn - Bunker Hill - Текст песни

Always thought it was a game with us

Move until enough's enough

into a picture-perfect view

I'd like to rip it up with you

Why would anybody leave this place?

It's overdrawn

and won't erase

And if you're feeling incomplete

the line is stretching up the street


So take a look 

but you might stay until

you have counted every light from Bunker Hill

Take a coat you're going to freeze


My baby sees every sentence with an underline

never uses turpentine

Put out a fleece and build a kite

A siren's going off tonight

Lay your head down

Do you call this chance?

Found the exit

this entrance

Now's the time

(and it is still)

I'm sorry that I kept you waiting here until


Hey, Luanda

do you want a thrill?

We can watch the lights shine up from Bunker Hill

But if it puts your heart at ease

my baby, please...


Try,

but you can't hide

Impossible.  You're lit from the inside

And all I've got to do is

keep my eyes above the ground

to see you move around


The only points of light are fires on Vermont

Somebody must suspect that all we really want

is a tranquilizer gun to fill

It's a free-for-all on Bunker Hill

and everybody wets their knees

on the trapeze...
