Thirty Frames A Second
From the album: Empires And Dance
📊 Performance Timeline
Lyrics
Today I saw a film going backwards,
Thirty frames a second,
Was a man I recognised,
Say who you are.
I lost my job,
Security,
Self confidence,
Bank account,
Identity.The league of youth,
Coming backward at me,
Thirty frames a second,
Say who you are.
Go back to father,
Father where’s my food?
You food is on the table,
That can’t be food,
It’s dirt.
Say who you are.
Look at my skin,
Look at my face,
Look at my arms,
Getting younger,
Going backwards,
Thirty frames a second.
Say who you are.
I crash my car,
Collapse in town,
Young immigrants,
And legionaires,
Fighting back, back, backwards,
Thirty frames a second,
Say who you are.
Some friends of mine,
I thought were dead,
Are coming back,
« What are you doing coming back Jack? »
Say who you are,
Feel I’m going backwards,
Thirty frames a second.
