Pyongyang lyrics - Blur

I look down from my window

To the island where I'm held

They listen while you're sleeping

And darkness is itself

Tomorrow, I'm disappearing

'Cause the trees are amplified

The never-ending broadcast

To which I do not aspire

Kid, the mausoleum's fallen

And the perfect avenues

Will seem empty without you

The pink light that bathed the great leaders is fading

By the time your sun is rising there

Out here, it's turning blue

The silver rockets coming

And the cherry trees of Pyongyang, I'm leaving

I feel like I'm floating

Processed in Auto-Tune

The never ending roll on

To the palace of the doomed

Temperature keeps falling

Soon there will be no lights

Just a red glow, glass coffin

Watched by someone through the night

Kid, the mausoleum's fallen

And the perfect avenues

Will seem empty without you

And the pink light that bathed the great leaders is fading

By the time your sun is rising there

Out here, it's turning blue

The silver rockets coming

And the cherry trees of Pyongyang, I'm leaving

There will be no light

Someone through the night

Someone through the night

Kid, the mausoleum's fallen

And the perfect avenues

Will seem empty without you

And the pink light that bathed the great leaders is fading

By the time your sun is rising there

(Years ago, when we used to be rivals)

Out here, it's turning blue

The silver rockets coming

(Our youths' minds and arms were bound)

And the cherry trees of Pyongyang, I'm leaving

(For our own survival)

Compliance is over

Reality is fables, fables

Ensuring humour, time's child

Ask still, Seoul
