Pile of bricks in the grass
Pile of bills on the table
Can you see the end of the tunnel
Can you split today from the past
There is no single medal
There is nothing but a feeling
For the crowd is never cheering
For the driver releasing the pedal
Do you burn from inside
Do you ever wonder why
There's sudden tears in your eyes
Despite the cover of your smile
But if, you would only say the word
Just say the word, let the city burn
And if, you would only say the word
Just say it girl, ooh ohh
Terracotta
Pile of plates in the sink
Fighting gravity outright
Until it wakes you up at night
It's always louder than you think
There's always a reason to stay
So much division to quit
But you've got to listen to your feet
When they beg you to runaway
To runaway
To runaway
Oh if, you would only say the word
Just say the word, let the city burn
Oh if, you would only say the word
Just say it girl, ooh ohh
Terracotta
I'll bring you pigments from the coast
As you build a castle on a plot
Down the road in Marbella
We'll keep tomatoes from the frost
And make a million silly jokes
A life made of terracotta
