lyrics

she looked like the bad guy from an 80’s movie
with her plaid chequered trousers and her martens on her feet
making her two feet taller than the pylon of myself
coasting above the crowd of the lexington, above a crimson coloured fog
I saw a girl sway like a god, like a god
ancient ritual between her teeth, glinting in the winter of mixed drinks
a god, like a god, she beckons and i believe
I believe, I believe it

a shock of pink that fades to tangerine, lit up with sequin, christmas tree
amid the chandelier, pentonville and old veneers
that peel away to scuppered floors, cramped staircase and borrowed walls
plastered postcards of Barnes, old sea power, long gone
but she blooms through the mantling like a god, like a god
oh, all I have on upper arms, but understood to mean this place,
a god, like a god, she screams, feral and free, and I believe
I believe, I believe it

I believed in a new headstone
it’s wistful but you’re just being honest
to not knowing otherwise
4am to deliver us, I believe, I believe it

unknown number calls again from outside, below the lexington
and leaves another message I won’t pick up in the morning
she dances 9 hours ahead, goulburn gold in green bunk bed
the room spins and I let it take out the rest of february
I hear his lurid echo, like a god, like a god,
blacked out by the roadside, stag head, smoking garden,
like a god, like a god, but he’s not alive to see
me believe, I believe, I believe it

I put my faith in a new headstone
it’s wistful but you’re just being honest
to not knowing otherwise
4am to deliver us, I believe, I believed it
