Bruce *****burn - Tibetan Side Of Town Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • =================
  • through rutted winding streets of Kathmandu
  • dodging crowded humans cows dogs rickshaws
  • storefronts constellated pools of bluewhite
  • bright against darkening walls
  • the butterfly sparkle in my lasered eye
  • still seems to hold that last shot of red sun through haze over jumbled roofs
  • everything moves like slow fluid in this atmosphere thick as dreams
  • with sewage incense dust and fever and the smoke of brick kilns and cremations
  • Tom Kelly's bike rumbles down
  • we're going drinking on the Tibetan side of town
  • beggar with a withered leg sits sideways on a skateboard grinning
  • there's a joke going on somewhere but we'll never know
  • those laughing kids with hungry eyes must be in on it too
  • with their clinging memories of a culture crushed by Chinese greed
  • pretty young mother by the temple gate
  • covers her baby's eyes face against diesel fumes
  • that look of concern, you can see it still
  • not yet masked by the hard lines of a woman's struggle to survive
  • hard bargains going down
  • when you're living on the Tibetan side of town
  • big red enfield bullet lurches to a halt in the dust
  • last blast of engine leaves a ringing in the ears
  • that fades into the rustle of bare feet and slapping sandals
  • and the baritone moan of long bronze trumpets muffled by monastery walls
  • prayer flags crack like whips in the breeze
  • sending to the world - tonight the message blows east
  • dark door opens to yellow room and there are these steaming jugs of hot millet
  • beet
  • and I'm sucked into this scene like this liquor up this bamboo straw
  • sweet tungba sliding down
  • drinking on the Tibetan side of town
  • ====================
