Under the sun

Look what we have got

And those who haven't

Bad luck

We've been running 'round

Pushing the shopping cart

January 2012

Even in the suburbs of Rome

A brick in a castle

A camp for those on the run

Dance as weapons

Realease my

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you

Some other kid is sucking on my thumb

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you

Another kid needs to suck on my thumb

Under the sun

Picking piles of flowers

For the flowers' pot

It's all that I've got

On my doorstep

A Screaming hand

I'm telling you stories

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you

Some other kid is sucking on my thumb

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes tell me you

Another kid needs to suck on my thumb

Drawing lines with a ruler

Border's lies

The idea of what's mine

A strange desire

Drawing lines with a ruler

Bring the fuel to the fire
