Chestnut by The Walls (IE) Lyrics
What happened to the natural evolution
Do you know the one I mean?
Come here chestnut let me explain
The swell of temptation is chiding and wild
At the hotel Naçional
The tourist checks her tan
I'm sitting in the shadow of a chestnut tree
Trying to escape the sun
A man strums a guitar with an easy hand
Sing another rebel song
We stumble through seasons and fumble for reasons why
Dragging a suitcase that should’ve been left way behind
Outside her apartmеnt, there’s a note on thе door
It says, “come on inside it’s wide open”
But the lightbulbs are all blown
Hum of electrics and a tangle of wires
The colorblind electrician
Takes a breath before he fries
She’s taken down the picture from the wall
The period of grace is gone
It was a giant cherry cake about five foot tall
In the winter it replaced the sun
We stumble through seasons and fumble for reasons why
Dragging a suitcase that should’ve been left way behind
Do you know the one I mean?
Come here chestnut let me explain
The swell of temptation is chiding and wild
At the hotel Naçional
The tourist checks her tan
I'm sitting in the shadow of a chestnut tree
Trying to escape the sun
A man strums a guitar with an easy hand
Sing another rebel song
We stumble through seasons and fumble for reasons why
Dragging a suitcase that should’ve been left way behind
Outside her apartmеnt, there’s a note on thе door
It says, “come on inside it’s wide open”
But the lightbulbs are all blown
Hum of electrics and a tangle of wires
The colorblind electrician
Takes a breath before he fries
She’s taken down the picture from the wall
The period of grace is gone
It was a giant cherry cake about five foot tall
In the winter it replaced the sun
We stumble through seasons and fumble for reasons why
Dragging a suitcase that should’ve been left way behind
