Last impression
(Artist: Bats on a Swing / Songwriter: Damien Somville)
Leaving the color red, lost in an abstract plan
In a little plastic castle where
You once spoke in the king’s name
One last impression before I have to leave this dried up ocean
And it’s getting cold in the undermoon
Two pupils in motion to sweep the room and hold back
As many details as your head can
One touch and a smell
Hurry up it’s late, this backwards afternoon will soon end
And take the loon away with a peace of childhood
I’d better leave before dawn hits the road up
Before I loose the notion of space and time
I have to find a meaning to this song no direction home
Before dawn hits the road up
Before dusk fills the house up
Spinning old remains, I can seem to catch one
A joyful Christmas once occurred here
In this room I guess
One last impression before I start to miss this country house
I’d better leave before dawn hits the road up
Before I loose the notion of space and time
I have to find a meaning to this song no direction home
Before dusk fills the house up
And got swallowed into the crawling nights you can
Stir up conviction in a sleight of hand
You will find back your city bed
Before dawn hits the road up
Before dusk fills the house up
Leaving the color red, lost in an abstract plan
