Bright Eyes – Persona Non Grata Lyrics
Play this song
[Verse 1]
Getting dressed for a date
Put on blue aftershave
Wore a kilt like a celt
Hid the weight that I felt
Combat boots, fallen leaves
West Village, Halloween
To a Bollywood song
Taking shots ’till we’re gone
Unwelcome in the autumn
Persona non grata
I’m the last of the best
I’m your thoughts in the swamp
There’s a playground of children
In the shadows of buildings
There’s a lawn out the church
Where your homelessness works
Where the stained glass of crimson
Meets Ezekiel’s visions
Saw a valley of bones
Where no man shall be saved
[Chorus]
And now you
You come to me
Asking that
And now you
You come to me
And you’re asking that
Oh, how can we reconcile?
[Verse 2]
Left your innocence there
In Tian’a...
