~ The Orientalists ~ Lyrics ~

~~ The Razor ~~

city lights
shoot metallic shadows
underground the train
sounds a call to battle

all asleep
become awake
and watch the train
cut the dream away

the train is like a razor cutting through the night
the night is like a dreamer drunk with clouded sight

i will be the razor
you will be the night
i will be the train and
i will be the light
i will be the razor

the city streets
collect sleep in puddles
overground the cars
pump and grind their pedals

sound the horn
become awake
watch the cars
cut the dream away

my car is like a razor
slicing through the meat
smashing all the puddles
crashing through the sleet

i will be the razor
you will be the sleet
i will be the car
you will be the street
i will be the razor

i will be the razor
