Russian Dolls Songtext
von Maxïmo Park

Electric cables
Beneath the Atlantic
There′s a radar beneath the black water
Rain flecks looking
Inevitably
At the end of the telescope by the pier
I know you'd rather I didn′t say that I wanna look after you
But I'd expect you to say the same for me someday
This knowledge gives me no pleasure
You can't kill yourself before you′re born


Particles like Russian dolls
Folding atoms ever smaller
Rear wire fences
Section off the wilderness
A lonely cluster of woodlands stands apart
Like the fingers of a hand
Gently drowning

Flat sections of chipped paint
Float by like butterflies
I know you′d rather I didn't say that I wanna look after you
But I′d expect you to say the same to me someday
My demeanor is made to measure
Nothing stirs beneath the farce of daily life

Particles like Russian dolls
Folding atoms ever smaller
If life never ended we'd have no urgency
Condemned to boredom and repetition
Particles like Russian dolls
Folding atoms ever smaller
If life never ended we′d have no urgency
Condemned to boredom and repetition
