[00:00.00]Mahal Kita - Emmy the Great
[00:00.12]Lyrics by：Emmy The Great
[00:00.24]Composed by：Emmy The Great
[00:00.36]Produced by：Doug SchadtI am walking through the city
[00:00.49]I am walking through the city
[00:02.68]With my ear down to the ground
[00:05.69]Trying to find something I lost
[00:07.83]I'll know it by the sound
[00:10.01]You are underneath the bridge
[00:12.20]And all the cars are driving by
[00:14.75]And I say stranger won't you let me come
[00:17.57]And sit with you a while
[00:19.87]'Cause my tiredness is luminous
[00:22.66]It trails me like smoke
[00:25.14]But here beneath this road
[00:26.68]I think I've found the antidote
[00:29.27]In those dances in formation
[00:31.82]In those people singing songs
[00:34.37]In the woman slicing papaya outside Louis Vuitton
[00:41.33]You say
[00:41.98]I know that we are stars
[00:43.96]'Cause the moon follows me home
[00:50.48]I know that we are stars 'cause the sun is yellow
[00:59.19]Breathing in the noise from all the people in their cars
[01:08.81]You teach me how to say Mahal Kita
[01:17.32]The world has turned to Blade Runner
[01:19.47]These buildings they have eyes
[01:22.11]Men they stare down at us from glass towers in the skies
[01:26.93]You tell me that your bedroom is seven foot by five
[01:31.07]And I don't know who made the gap
[01:33.44]But it just keeps on getting wide
[01:36.60]And I won't be the one to say
[01:38.70]That this world isn't fair
[01:40.89]Let the Catholics and St Joseph tell the story in their prayers
[01:46.21]Of how we came to fill the space
[01:48.77]Between heaven and hell
[01:50.69]While the hawkers sell their handbags
[01:53.03]On the street outside Chanel
[01:58.36]I know that we are stars
[02:00.29]'Cause the moon follows me home
[02:06.81]I know that we are stars 'cause the sun is yellow
[02:15.47]Breathing in the noise from all the people in their cars
[02:25.05]It's spilling from our lips Mahal Kita
[02:33.64]And you are free
[02:41.01]And nobody can tell you that you're not
[02:45.78]Free
[02:50.43]Mahal Kita
[02:55.18]Mahal Kita
[03:00.07]Mahal Kita
[03:04.90]Mahal Kita
[03:24.61]An old Chinese woman sells the card we're sitting on
[03:29.32]Tonight she'll come and tidy it away when we are gone
[03:33.92]And the streets will be quiet
[03:36.23]And the banks will be closed
[03:38.64]And the taxis will be lining up to take the tourists home
[03:43.76]Tomorrow I'll keep searching for the rhythm
[03:46.94]Of a song
[03:48.50]That I once heard once as a child
[03:50.58]Though the melody has long long gone
[03:54.08]And I will think of you every time I'm here
[03:58.53]Lit up by a Tiffany's that used to be DeBear's
[04:05.30]While the people turns to crowds
[04:07.72]And the crowd turns to a throng
[04:14.06]And a woman slices papaya outside Louis Vuitton
