No time to discuss it
Can’t speak when the waves
Reach our house up on the dunes
Time cannot be trusted
When the police come
They always come too soon
Life felt like heaven today
Like a foreign car though
We are American-made
I thought I’d probably stay
But before I know, I know
Chorus:
My Christian heart
Cannot withstand
The thundering arena
I’ll see you when
The violence ends
For now, ciao ciao
Bambina
No signs of injustice
No signs but the flames that are filling up the room
But fire cannot be trusted
When the engines come
They always come too soon
Chorus
Written by Ezra Koenig / Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid & Ezra Koenig / Engineered by Ariel Rechtshaid, Chris Kasych, John DeBold, Hiroya Takayama & Takemasa Kosaka / Mixed by Ariel Rechtshaid
