forks and knives la fête

Beirut

Uptown, the street s in a calming way
And outside is warm as a bed with a maid
And I find it s all our waves and raves
That makes the days go on this way

I heard the sad sound of words
Spoken from a bee and a wise old bird
Uptown, where the streets are kept to a flow?
Our ground never leaves me alive

He means well, saying,
I ve got stories of wine, superb
And of course my childhood, forks and knives
And a hospital bed, where I turned my life over and over again
