Lyrics:
Blood runs red in the street
The people celebrate their Eid
And I'm over at a friends to eat
The meat's cooking on the grill
Left for a moment to long
And the plates come piled high
With blackened liver and lungs
This memory shoots to the top
Like a diver who knows his oxygen's about to run out
And it's all I can think about
When I know what you're going to say
By the tremor in your voice
Like 13 years ago
Blackened liver and lungs
Mid July 2003
The last time I saw you cry
We were too young to understand
That you thought that he could die
I'd known what you were going to say
But this time I also know what's implied
And although you failed to cry
The third time's no easier
And this time I'm old enough
To know that we're both thinking about
Blackened liver and lungs
