​lullaby london

I am uneasy but I won’t leave
Don’t ask after me
Do it now don’t wait for morning
I start to dance you’re looking now
At off-white socks pulled down
Don’t ask how I’m doing

I don’t live in the ninth but doesn’t this sound like
My Laferrière cry when the Metro drum beat the sound of my sleep
He talks of balloons when I float out of sight
But this time you’re not here to pull me down with a soft sleep tight
Take your hand off my side you don’t do it right
And I will be alright, just not tonight
So don’t put me down

Rockaby, baby
Rockaby, my baby
Rockaby, baby
Rockababy, baby
La la la la la

We were too deep two feet in the ground
You let nothing lift me out
Hands up pull up I’m coming out
Look up now I’m drifting
Hot air is thick but it lifts me
And I don’t look down
I don’t want to look down

London, you might take me for every piece I have
I won’t remember it when I wake up quick, tired and mad
London, I am looking for proof that this is here
Proof that I’m not lifting up and out but it’s heavier now
And I do keep it down you know what I mean
You’re the only one that came along and ever saw

London never saw it
Well, neither did I
I will not see London until it stops
And stays for the night
London wasn’t looking
And I said that’s alright
I will not see London until it stops
