Marti West - Istanbul Lyrics

Istanbul was burning on a silver screen
I'd be stepping over broken bones and cobbled stone
Oh cobbled stone
Sightless sockets on a crowded train
Empty pockets baby and my heavy hat was full of rain
Oh full of rain
And I'd come to you with an open palm
Come on deliver me from harm
But you just stand there saying no, no, no, no, no
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
And I could live without these useless toys
Eating up the minds of pretty girls and city boys
Oh city boys
And why tell lies like those in times like these
Well I'll just close my eyes and discredit what I know to be
Oh know to be
And I'd come to you with an open palm
Come on deliver me from harm
But you just stand there saying no, no, no, no, no
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
And I'm not asking for anything that hard
No need to tear the world apart
But you just stand there asking more, more, more, more, more
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go

Istanbul was burning on a silver screen
I'd be stepping over broken bones and cobbled stone
Oh cobbled stone
Sightless sockets on a crowded train
Empty pockets baby and my heavy hat was full of rain
Oh full of rain
And I'd come to you with an open palm
Come on deliver me from harm
But you just stand there saying no, no, no, no, no
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
And I could live without these useless toys
Eating up the minds of pretty girls and city boys
Oh city boys
And why tell lies like those in times like these
Well I'll just close my eyes and discredit what I know to be
Oh know to be
And I'd come to you with an open palm
Come on deliver me from harm
But you just stand there saying no, no, no, no, no
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
And I'm not asking for anything that hard
No need to tear the world apart
But you just stand there asking more, more, more, more, more
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
We are falling we are falling please don't go
