Nits - Athens

taken from “1974“ (2003). Used without permission, removable upon request it’s running through my veins I’m in Athens and it rains It’s tapping at this windo I’m in Athens and it rains There is a cloud in my eyes On this late afternoon It flies through the sky It will be ammonia soon Every time I turn a corner I smell an aroma so sweet In a coma my feet stop walking It cannot disappear I’m laughing through the tears I’m laughing through the years It cannot disappear I’m in Athens and I’m here I will not disappear So keep the strange eye Keep the strange smell For yourself And no one else So keep the answer So I look at the lines in my hand See the future See the past It ends It cannot disappear I’m in Athens and I’m here It cannot disappear There are too many ruins here And I’m one of them I fear Somewhere a phone is ringing Somewhere someone is singing Trains and boats and planes I’m in Athens and it rains
