Select language to translate this lyric
We stank of hair dye and ammonia,
We sealed ourselves away from view.
You were looking at the void and seldom blinking,
The best that I could do was to train my eyes on you.
We scaled the hidden hills beneath the surface
Scraped our fingers, bloody on the stones
and built a house that we could live in,
out of Dina Lipatti's bones.
We kept our friends at bay all summer long,
treated the days as though they'd kill us if they could.
Ringing out the hours like blood-drenched bedsheets,
to keep winter time at bay, but December showed up anyway.
There was no money, it was money that you wanted,
I went downtown, sold off most of what I owned
and we raised a tower to broadcast all our dar dreams,
from Dina Lipatti's Bones.
