Beirut Forks And Knives (la Fete) Lyrics

Forks And Knives (la Fete) Lyrics

Uptown, the street's in a calming way

And outside is warm as a bed with a maid

And I find it's all our waves and raves

That makes the days go on this way



I heard the sad sound of words

Spoken from a bee to the wise old bird

Uptown, where the streets are kept to a flow

Our ground never leaves me alive



He means well, saying I've got stories of wine, superb

And of course my childhood

Forks and knives and a hospital bed

Where I turned my life over and over again
