And I still see you in the half light looking out to sea
You said down at the war rooms they're making bad memories
And the high-wire talked down the woman who should never be there
At the patisserie she kissed her lover
And a man threw a bouquet in the air
They hang their flags from the windows to look like they won
Come on people come on
Voluptuous beauty like sculpture and the rain felt like stone
You feel the exact moment of conception in the half light alone
As the World's circus and straight lines tumble into view
The ballet dancer can hold herself in the air longer than you
They hang their flags from their windows just to look like they won
Come on people come on
And the steeple has fallen and the ancient bell tolled
As the critic kissed the artist and the writer kissed the world
They hang their flags from their windows just to look like they won
Come on people come on
