The Ballad of Darren, 2023, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Are you coming back to us?
Are you online?
Are you connectable, again?
Where the blue light?
Where the red dress
Puppet dancing on strings Balalaika and singing
The tenement blocks came crashing down
With headphones on you won't hear that much
There's nothing fake on earth
There are strings attached to all of us
There's nothing in the end only dust
So turn the music up
I'm hitting the hard stuff
Flew to Belgrade
Stayed in a hotel
Went to museums, Tobacco and midweek grave digger
The tenement blocks came crashing down
With headphones on you won't hear that much
There's nothing fake on earth
There are strings attached to all of us
There's nothing in the end only dust
When you put the lever down
I'm hitting the hard stuff
