understand the sound

kids sitting in a unforgotten city landscape
treading on tough waves of water to get to their homeland
written by the telegraph printer
watching the information I see on the screen
I have to speak their language 
understand their words
consider the fractions and numerals
time has spent itself for me and I'm looking back
into the flames of dishonesty
waiting for the moment to arrive
she loves me, she loves me not
the same old story, everywhere I sit
leaving a mark on the grass
I know where I can stand
where the boutique is and the essence takes hold
do I ask how bored you must be by now
there's nothing like that to fuel the burn
limping and lusting and tumbling around
alone in a group of many, understand the sound
the light turns green, we walk together
hand-in-hand and we should all get better
better off than it is now
crumbs on my table, no fool can tell

enough of this ancient land, lets go to town
