World Citizen (I Won't Be Disappointed) (Short Version) - David Sylvian

[00:00.60]What happened here?
[00:04.08]The butterfly has lost its wings
[00:08.41]The air's too thick to breathe
[00:11.30]And there's something in the drinking water.
[00:21.72]The sun comes up
[00:25.42]The sun comes up and you're alone
[00:28.88]Your sense of purpose come undone
[00:32.40]The traffic tails back to the maze on 101
[00:43.43]And the news from the sky
[00:46.70]Is looking better for today
[00:51.11]In every single way
[00:53.64]But not for you
[00:57.91]World citizen
[01:04.96]World citizen
[01:11.58]It's not safe
[01:15.57]All the yellow birds are sleeping
[01:18.78]Cos the air's not fit for breathing
[01:22.38]It's not safe
[01:25.47]Why can't we be
[01:29.38]Without beginning, without end?
[01:32.87]Why can't we be?
[01:40.58]World citizen
[01:47.65]World citizen
[01:54.51]And if I stop
[01:58.84]And talk with you awhile
[02:01.49]I'm overwhelmed by the scale
[02:05.82]Of everything you feel
[02:09.38]The lonely inner state emergency
[02:19.32]I saw a face
[02:22.71]It was a face I didn't know
[02:26.10]Her sadness told me everything about my own
[02:33.18]Can't let it be
[02:37.15]When least expected there she is
[02:40.57]Gone the time and space that separates us
[02:47.65]And I'm not safe
[02:51.25]I think I need a second skin
[02:54.77]No, I'm not safe
[03:02.44]World citizen
[03:09.38]World citizen
[03:16.16]I want to travel by night
[03:19.56]Across the steppes and over seas
[03:23.54]I want to understand the cost
[03:27.34]Of everything that's lost
[03:30.66]I want to pronounce all their names correctly
[03:37.89]World citizen
[03:44.95]World citizen
[03:51.69]I won't be disappointed
[03:58.55]I won't be.
