So Many Nights

The Cat Empire So Many Nights Lyrics
1.Panama

I was in a plane to Panama
And a fly landed on her thigh
And I thought I brushed it off quite brashly
I introduced myself
And she said her name was sky.

A simple Hi and I could tell
That her plainness was well seamless
And somewhere deep inside
She drove a calm and weightless determination

And to what lands her mind would travel
I don't know but I was so curious
I had to keep on thinking of her floating through the clouds
Yeah

I asked her wether she enjoyed being in the air
And airily she answered with an accent so careful
I could feel each syllable while
I love things that seem impossible
I love things that seem impossible
Well I love things that seem impossible
And I love things that seem impossible Yeah

Bridge
Seem impossible
Seem impossible
I love things that seem impossible

And to what lands her mind would travel
I don't know but I was so curious
I had to keep on thinking of her floating through the clouds
Yeah


2.So Long

The bus drives over on a mellow scene
We've done this five nights and tomorrow's free
Oh I say, tomorrow's free
And I seem to meet it in the morning and no sleep
But I can't keep myself from wandering

Next night down in Montreal
And when it rains I guess it pours
Oh I say, when it rains it
Pours and we go down into the
Saint street keeping our feet of the ground
Till we find ourselves at breakfast in our super town

So long well hey hey hey
Though I'd see you all again
So long and hey hey hey
The bus driver yonder in the morning light
Look out of the window baby and what a sight we say
Well hey hey hey

I now a girl who's got eyes on her feet
So when she starts dreaming she roams
And she'll know where she's going
She looks alright that's Romina she's dancing on the speakers
And speaking of moving Ruben's places started
Jumping with the campisis

So long hey hey hey
Though I'd see you all again
So long and hey hey hey

Thursday was solid and Friday's cool
Saturday was messy in the best way possible
Sunday should be for rest but these
Cats on the corner and I can't keep my chest from a
Rumbling the same way it did when I was young and blessed

So long well hey hey hey
Though I'd see you all again
So long and hey hey hey
The bus driver yonder in the morning light
Look out of the window baby and what a sight we say
Well hey hey hey

So long hey hey hey
Remember me and that it's all OK now baby
So long hey hey hey


3.Strong Coffee

It's like the sound of St Petersburg bells banging in my head
The night train rattle shake and rumble through that cabin bunk
bed
Now Sigmund said something about this super static travel
tension that we get
My magic woman met this woman while the wheels squealed and the
tracks they gripped and sped

My Maria got me thinking about soul in a whole new way
We took a stroll got a ham and cheese roll and some strong
coffee
On the TV it's Germany and Italy
You be the Goalie Holly I am the referee

Hey hey I need some strong coffee
My Maria got me thinking about soul in a whole new way
Hey hey I need some strong coffee
My Maria got me thinking about soul in a whole new way

When I look down I found the edges of the mattress start to
levitate
The next thing I knew we were above the city gates
Rised over steeple tops and all I can think to say was
'You be the Kremlin and I'll be the saint
And you can be the person from the head of state'


4.Wanted To Write A Love Song

Sun slink down said
'Oh such sexy time of day'.

For those who call it romance
Haven't learned 'bout the nature of those rays.

They put a warmth in your spirit
And that twinkle in your step,
When you sing there's an angel
But your devil has been kept
For these nights where the sun still shine
Long after it has set.

Manic, magic, mayhem, mister
Might be moving massive
Your desire.

She shot the two tequilas
Wipes her lip and starts beaming
Behind that savage smile.

I Wanted to write a love song aeh!
But the night time sun said
'It's time for play'
If these two eyes could make a sound
Then this is what they'd say...

Dreamlike moments find us with a flash
They blind us shining feline tears
They touching where it soft
Then make us mad with that music spear.

We cried tonight if it did end us
We'd have laughed ourselves to death
Then our souls would find a shake down
Find the heaven in our chest
In these nights where the sun still shine
Long after it has set.

Looking, listening, lunatic-ing
Loving, living, lusting
It's divine.

(We) Saw the sign it said 'boom shak'
From that window in the sky.

I Wanted to write a love song aeh!
But the night time sun said
'It's time for play'
If these two eyes could make a sound
Then this is what they'd say...

I Wanted to write a love song aeh!
But the night time sun said
'it's the other way'.
We'll these two eyes they light and howl
And this is what they say...
