Omd Christine Lyrics

Christine Lyrics

as the sun descends too quickly
 behind the distant city
 she will ride under the water
 she will leave her son and daughter

 reduced to lying naked 
 to feed those she holds sacred
 she is bare of clothes and beauty
 on disply in her nudity

 if someone calls her name out
 all she ever hears are cars
 through the window in the bathroom
 through the broken glass and bars

 seeking comfort in the wallet
 where she placed eighty dollars
 when the last one has departed
 she can slide into the darkness

 and slowly down the river
 the current pulls her under
 and it bathes her in its splendor
 is unmoved by her surrender

 and faint through the water
 the lights like brittle stars
 someone called her name out
 she no longer hears the cars

 Christine...
