lyrics

Drawn, on the floor a line
Lingua franca is this a sign?
Our native tongues are twisted and tied
Will talking untie ‘em
As I am forming a creole, a rapport?
Her endless eyes are mirrors in a hall

Different colours, different eyes
Our lingua franca died
Are we blind?

I carry a hard-back thesaurus –
You carry a knife
Universal grammar got my tongue
Higher and higher we’re balancing on the wire
We are tall
But we’re two dark figures lost
As the night draws in

Different colours, different eyes
Our lingua franca died
Are we blind?
Different colours, different eyes
Our lingua franca died

Are we blind?
Here I hide, cold,
Under the sheets and cry
Different colours, different eyes
Our lingua franca died

Are we blind?
