lyrics

There are riots in the streets of Mombasa
Children dying in the streets of LA
I am standing in the riot of a street light
You are sleeping in the sheets of my rain

A million stars explode into oblivion
light won’t reach us
for millions of years
A million sighs dissolve into solitude
Trading silence
for someone to hear

And
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you
You’re a beautiful genius
You’re a beautiful genius

Children laugh in the swings of a schoolyard
Lovers linger on the street after dark
I am swimming in the laughter of sunlight
You are drowning in the waves of my heart

A million stars explode into oblivion
We’ll be gone
Before the world gets cold
A million miles dissolve into minutes
trading distance
for someone to hold

And
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you
You’re a beautiful genius
You’re a beautiful genius

Tongues drip with revisionist history
Hypnotized by the way that you kiss me
Whisper secrets about that hands that you hold
Trading love for the lies that you told
