Riot On An Empty Street
Kings of Convenience
RIOT ON AN EMPTY STREET As recorded by the Kings of Convenience (From the 2009 Album DECLARATION OF DEPENDANCE) Capo 3rd fret [Intro] [Verse 1] Why why so quiet Oh my mysterious country singer she asked My life it’s a riot I am climbing barricades in empty streets at night [Interlude] [Verse 2] When I’m down fighting shadows Twenty-five postcards in a box in my room Telephone conversations Gas slowly leaking out of a heart shaped balloon [Bridge] It’s a dangerous game That I’m not sure if I could keep playing for long It’s a dangerous game It’s a very fine line and if one step is wrong I’ll have no cards to play and that’s why I’ve got nothing to say tonight Nothing to say tonight [Outro]
