Marah - Soda lyrics

Soda was just about sixteen With earthworm lips and deep pools of green Where his eyes should have been When he first met Hannah Chang Down in her father's fried rice place Just 'round the corner where he first saw her face Her tiny smile behind the bulletproof gla** Was framed by a strange sad happiness From then on so many nights together Down in the park where the tired pigeons gather He told her of Puerto Rican sunsets While she conjured up Chinese snow They call me "Soda" cause when I was a baby My mother was so young That soda was all she gave me It made me sickly so that's why I shake Like I'm scared of something But Hannah, I ain't Underneath invisible stars These dirty streets will forever be ours Long after we leave them behind To find what others never find Ashes to ashes Dust to dust No one can steal the dream from us Underneath invisible stars These dirty streets will forever be ours The months went by and their young hearts leaped Right past the cruelty of the corner creeps Straight through the forest of old hate songs On their way to their place in the park 'Till one October Friday night When Hannah heard Soda out beneath the street light Having words with the corner trash Defending the girl that he found She wiped her hands Pulled her apron string Just as the ghetto church bells began to ring Just as the cannons of earthly hell Awoke the shameless night She ran outside in time to cradle his head There in her arms his body bled Lakes on the pavement Rivers in the gutter And he sighed as he died And he told her he loved her Underneath invisible stars These dirty streets will forever be ours Long after we leave them behind To follow what others never find???? Ashes to ashes Dust to dust No one can steal the dream from us Underneath invisible stars These dirty streets will forever be ours
