Testo Divine David & The Citizens

Divine

I imagine you walking around in your apartment,
kissing that self-portrait I painted and sent to you
I imagine you changing your mind after swallowing
the last thing you tasted before the big sleep got you
and it cuts me in two

And I often wonder if maybe you found the light,
that divine, comforting light they spend so much time
on trying to find
you're like Jodie Foster taking off but nobody sees it
it takes the sound of an earthquake to even believe it

And they say "Hold on, after rain comes sun"
I think today, it's the other way around
every window holds a tiny light
take a look around, see what you might find...

Well, they're putting out flags tonight to celebrate the dead
but I'd rather do something to turn back time instead
a little late to say something, I know
but what the hell am I supposed to do
when I just want to sit you down in my kitchen
and you'd tell me what it was
'cos the last time we met,
it was like the whole world was exploding
riding elevators through that endless red brick building
on a day so pretty you'd think we were all only joking
putting on a show that would give us an Oscar

They say "Hold on, after rain comes sun"
I think today, it's the other way around
every window holds a tiny light
take a look around, see what you might find...
