Banana Song

from Tomorrow by Christopher Ma

/

lyrics

I was born away from here my darling
Closer to the city lights
Closer to the dancing
of a thousand brilliant nights

In the streets I saw the heavens singing
With our swords unsheathed
Silver gleaming
And the pounding drums
Resounded through my hair
The mountain sounding coming through the distance

Not like this
Dust engulfs this town
And the violins
have all but left
Replaced by firing drones
And under almond trees

I remember
Long before the days
His voice came running through my tree
Reaching for me

Before fire
Before it burned
Before the heavens existed
Before poison
In a pill
And I swallowed to my death
Before the sparks
And the works
Before women burned in hell
With my little
Forgotten children
With all my failed addictions
Before lightning
Before listening
Before love
