Testo Soda - Marah
Testo della canzone Soda (Marah), tratta dall'album 20,000 Streets Under the Sky
Soda was just about sixteen
With earthworm lips and deep pools of green
Where his eyes should've been
When he first met Hannah Chan
Down in her father's fried rice place
Just 'round the corner where he first saw her face
Her tiny smile behind the bulletproof glass
Was frightened by a strange sad happiness
From then on, so many nights together
Down in the park where the tired pigeons gather
He told her of Puerto Rican sunsets
While she conjured up Chinese snow
"They call me Soda 'cause when I was a baby
My mother was so young that soda was all she gave me
It made me sickly, so that's why I shake
Like I'm scared of something, but Hannah, I ain't"
Underneath invisible stars
These dirty streets will forever be ours
Long after we leave them behind
To find what others never find
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
No one can steal a dream from us
Underneath invisible stars
These dirty streets will forever be ours
The months went by and the young hearts leaped
Right past the cruelty of the corner creeps
Straight through the forest of old hate songs
On the way to their place in the park
'Til one October Friday night
When Hannah heard Soda out beneath the streetlight
Having words with the corner trash
Defending the girl that he'd found
She wiped her hands, pulled her apron string
Just as the ghetto church bells began to ring
Just as the cannons of earthly hell
Awoke the shameless night
She ran outside and turned to cradle his head
There in her arms as his body bled
Licks onto the pavement, rivers in the gutter
And he sighed as he died and he told her he loved her
Underneath invisible stars
These dirty streets will forever be ours
Long after we leave them behind
To find what others never find
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
No one can steal a dream from us
Underneath invisible stars
These dirty streets will forever be ours
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
No one can steal a dream from us
Underneath invisible stars
These dirty streets will forever be ours
