JETS TO BRAZIL LYRICS

"Sweet Avenue"

tasting you and rain I

walk down to the train

try not to look down

this day could someday be

an anniversary

everything is light and sound



facing forwards going slowly

wait for you to show me

where this train wants to go

living by the hour I

stop for every flower

everything is soft and slow



now all these tastes improve

through the view that comes with you

like they handed me my life

for the first time it felt right



thank you for making me

see there's a life in me

it was dying to get out

holding you we make two spoons

beneath an April moon

everything is soft and sweet



this cigarette it could seduce

a nation with its smoke

crawling down my tired throat

scratches part of me that's purring

softly stirring



I'm a captain of industry

smoking famously

feet up on the windowsill

looking at all these trees I

feel affinity with

everything so soft and still



budding at my fingertips

touching you I start to bloom

alive with trains and passing ships

soft and sweet along your lips now

I go "oh wow"



thank you for taking me

from my monastery

I was dying to get out

with tears of gratitude

I like my latitude

cross town train to you



now all these tastes improve

through the view that comes with you

like they handed me my life

for the first time it felt worth it



like I deserved it
