lyrics

10 – Helmets


we watched as the helmets took a stand
fired pepper in the sky above
a dumpster suddenly burst into flames
the smoke became a flood
I caught the look you gave me
as the tension rippled through the air
for a moment I forgot the reason
why I was there

and you said
let’s start a fire

we ran down an alley full of glass
scattered on the cobblestone
that morning we were thousands
but now we’re running home alone
nobody was certain in the end we could change anything

but we did it anyway

but I can see us falling
it doesn’t have to be
that way

I don’t know, I don’t know
what it takes to make a change
paint a sign, learn the stakes
read the books that burn the flags
hold my hand, hold that spark
that tear gas hit a loving heart
I wanna see you look at me that way
again

Kliffs Berlin, Germany

Kliffs write recycled tone poems for the perpetually bemused, and pop songs for shy dancers. They channel the quiet of early morning sun rays tickling cloud banks and mix it up with songs better suited to late-night inner city bicycle rides.
