Lyrics:

I’m here in the painted world of the blue sky

Where the gamble is the runway which leads to the mountain

And the inmates cells always remain open as they stare into the abyss

I don’t know anything that feels like this

No I don’t know anything that hits like this

No I don’t know anything

That feels like this kiss

Underlit by savage fires

Motorway Casablanca

Where the tunnel to suburbia

Is opening soon

And the lone shooter lies

Alone on the rooftop

And stares into the abyss

I don’t know anything that feels like this

No I don’t know anything that feels like this

No I don’t know anything

(I don’t know anything)

That feels like this kiss
