Kele - Song for Clay (Disappear Here) lyrics

[Verse 1] I am trying to be heroic In an age of modernity I am trying to be heroic As all around me history sinks So I enjoy and I devour Flesh and wine and luxury But in my heart, I am lukewarm Nothing ever really touches me [Verse 2] At the Les Trois Garçons We meet at precisely 9 o'clock I order the foie gras And I eat it with complete disdain Bubbles rise in champagne flutes But when we kiss, I feel nothing Feasting on sleeping pills And Marlboro Reds Self-pity won't save you [Chorus] Oh, how our, how our parents They suffered for nothing Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream Like the '80s never happened People are afraid, are afraid To merge on the freeway Disappear here [Verse 3] We stroll past the queue Into the magazine launch party I'm handed a pill And I swallow it with complete disdain Kick drum pounds, off-beat high hats Remember to look bored We s** each other's faces And make sure we are noticed Cocaine won't save you [Bridge] Because East London is a vampire It s**s the joy right out of me How we long for corruption In these golden years [Chorus] Oh, how our, how our parents They suffered for nothing Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream Like the '80s never happened People are afraid, are afraid To merge on the freeway Disappear here Disappear here Disappear here Disappear here Disappear here
