Adelphia - The Cat Empire

I was born in a kingdom with nothing but rules

Hum a little melody woven in lies

Tattooed on the skin and then sanctified

Oh, I miss those old songs

Coming out of worn down speakers straight fire

Wires from a mind with nothing to hide

Spit warrior of late night and wine

Can you call it back?

In each inhalation a little fire grows

Travel the world in a Winnebago

No-one can find us but we arrive with

Buckets of wine and whenever we go

Women and children and men would limbo

Out of the mist of another mountain

Smuggled a diamond out of the Congo

Self-immolation I don’t think it will last long

But if I woke somebody’s heart tonight

Then I know, then I know, then I know that it’s not over for me

I can feel the road on my skin

I can see the lights in my eyes

Jump up on the stage and get hypnotized

It’s a strange, strange feeling

Moustache men got nothing on me

Decibels overpower high priests

Faces arranged into features that please you

I just wanna meet you

All over the world I collide with atoms

Slamming around in the psychic jungle

Busses and trains and another meat tray

Sitting around in the glimmer heat wave

Every day it’s another question

What is your name and what is your action?

Come on and find us appearing near you

Never too late for me to work a little magic

But if I woke somebody’s heart tonight

Then I know, then I know, then I know that it’s not over for me, yeah

Wooooaaaah, wooooaaaah, wooooaaaah … Adelphia (x3)

In each inhalation a little fire grows

Travel the world in a Winnebago

No-one can find us but we arrive with

Buckets of wine and whenever we go

Women and children and men would limbo

Out of the mist of another mountain

Smuggled a diamond out of the Congo

Self-immolation I don’t think it will last

All over the world I collide with atoms

Slamming around in the psychic jungle

Busses and trains and another meat tray

Sitting around in the glimmer heat wave

Every day it’s another question

What is your name and what is your action?

Come on and find us appearing near you

Never too late for me to work a little magic

But if I woke somebody’s heart tonight

Then I know, then I know, then I know that it’s not over for me, yeah

I wanna go, I wanna go

I wanna go, I wanna go

I wanna go, I wanna go

I wanna go, I wanna go

I wanna go back to Adelphia, Adelphia …
