Hometown Kick from Peste by Belly of Paris

It’s just a numb dumb sleep
It’s just a hole to crawl inside
This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside

It’s in a mirror by the beach
Comes from a hometown kick
This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside

It’s where they still sleep fast
And in the border stamp click
This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside

A faded vista filled with junk
The tire rubber burned to threads
It’s an uncertain focus
There’s no fixed ending point
We piss into the sunlight
And throw our used cups on the pile

It’s eyes still sticky from the dawn
It’s contact lenses dried out
Dismissed with clicking fingers
Our passports bent and torn
The windows close and open
Our bags are searched and thrown
We conceal secret hunger
In case they take that too
And we just need a moment
To claim a climate of our own

This is a sadness we can
A sadness we can set aside
