Song For Clay (disappear Here) Lyrics

Song For Clay (disappear Here) lyrics

I am trying to be heroic

In an age of modernity

I am trying to be heroic

As all around me history sinks



So I enjoy and I devour

Flesh and wine and luxury

But in my heart, I am lukewarm

Nothing ever really touches me



At the Les Trois Garcons

We meet at precisely 9 o'clock

I order the foie gras

And I eat it with complete disdain



Bubbles rise in champagne flutes

But when we kiss, I feel nothing

Feasting on sleeping pills

And Marlboro Reds

Self-pity won't save you



Oh, how our, how our parents

They suffered for nothing

Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream

Like the '80s never happened



People are afraid, are afraid

To merge on the freeway

Disappear here



We stroll past the queue

Into the magazine launch party

I'm handed a pill

And I swallow it with complete disdain



Kick drum pounds, off-beat high hats

Remember to look bored

We suck each other's faces

And make sure we are noticed

Cocaine won't save you



Because East London is a vampire

It sucks the joy right out of me

How we long for corruption

In these golden years



Oh, how our, how our parents

They suffered for nothing

Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream

Like the '80s never happened



People are afraid, are afraid

To merge on the freeway

Disappear here, disappear here, disappear here

Disappear here, disappear here
