lyrics

such a pretty boy
sleep in my pretty arms
cause the streets are too loud
you'll be crushed by the crowd
a little bird caught out in the street
helpless

such a pretty boy
sing me your pretty song
if I freeze you in time
through euryale's eyes
will you sing the same song for me everyday?

what will be your space race
when the rockets turn to rust?
hold on to those illusions
keep blowing off the dust
then back and forth
from earth to sun to the moon
I'll watch you glide away from it all

just a pretty boy
locked in an ugly room
have I held you so long
that all the death squads have gone
fame and fortune turn to dirty words
with a hammer and steel
in a third act reveal
you are icarus rebuilding his wings
will I fall to my knees
as you rise from the ash
the question lingers on my lips

what will be your space race
when the rockets turn to rust?
hold on to those illusions
keep blowing off the dust
then back and forth
from earth to sun to the moon
I'll watch you glide across the sky
take me in your arms
don't let me fall
