Xiu Xiu - New Life Immigration lyrics

It's turning from day to dark Armageddon What made you think life was special? When I look at you I see there is one life that is special We don't need to live to love We don't need to live to love Everyone has failed us and we have failed everyone We don't need to live to love Soon this will all be gone To spare us kisses in the flood A piece of paper in my hand, a vow of double suicide The end of the world is avoidable We don't need to live to love We don't need to live to love Everyone has failed us and we have failed everyone We don't need to live to love Our fire escape is five floors above the street We can sit and watch Los Angeles burning Hold hands, turn around, lean over backwards This is the quiet we promised each other This is the love we've always dreamt of
