Sitting Dove - Sleaze 歌词

Came out west way too long ago
And almost...all I've seen is sleaze
At night it's heavy in the air

In daylight a disease

I knew that beast was out here
Way before I headed west
I just thought that it would take longer
For me to lie down in its soft nest

But the sunshine and those desert palms
And all of my big dreams

I'll be the first one to admit it

I was hooked way too easily

I came out west way too long ago
And almost all I've seen is sleaze
At night it's heavy in the air

In daylight a disease

It infects, inhabits invisibly

Beamin' down every street

Waves...Bouncin' off space satellites
Screaming from computer screens

Scrambling brain waves, genetic codes
Mutating how we think
The media's designed to do one thing
Let mass hypnosis ring

From the great white way of Wall Street
To that theatre called DC
Behind it all is Hollywood
Not the place, the global scene

New Delhi, London, sweet Paris
Shanghai, Mumbai, N-Y-C

Rio, Sydney, Nairobi

Cape Town, Bogota, and Belize
Chi-town, Frankfurt, Tel Aviv
Jerusalem - we must find peace
Cairo, Hong Kong, Miami
Manilla, Seoul, Buenos Aires
Berlin, Jakarta, Tripoli
Bangkok, Zurich, and Beijing
Moscow, Mexico City
But I hear Brussels's now the place to be

Like Rome and Athens of antiquity
It's rippling now, the monster seethes
But they never had like this you see
When we say global we mean actually

Came out west way too long ago
And almost all I've seen is sleaze
At night it's heavy in the air

In daylight a disease

I knew that beast was out here
Way before I headed west
I just thought that it would take longer
For me to lie down in its soft nest

Now I've tried hard to sedate myself
With fine wine and greenery
Why? Not because I have to
Just best not to feel or see

All the selfish souls and double talk
And my complicity

And how you can't hardly trust an-y-one
Without payin' a way high fee

We live on the dark side of the silver screen

To hit that red carpet, people do those things
Then hide those dirty secrets behind some bling
Hot lights kill the pain of having lost something

Came out west way too long a-go
And almost all I've seen is sleaze
At night it's heavy in the air
In daylight a disease

The virus now permeates everywhere
From sea to shining sea

Ya think you're safe, you best beware
Proof's that you're hearin' me

Ad-lib Outro:
You know who I am. You're with me...
