Catapult Lyrics

An applause for those who suffer

An applause for those who try

An applause for those who stand up

When the rest are sitting down

Long shadows paint the windows

Windows that were blue

Blue they were, as I recall

The day before I met you

But the rich they wear their tuxes

And they waltz and carry on

The cornershop is closing now

It's dark and I'm alone

Oh, bring me back to those golden days

like a storm in a hat,

I imagine a boat that just sank

Why did you take me?

Like storms often do

You took me and shook me and left

But the older they play

The younger they get

The storm made me ten years older in a day

I have wasted years on thinking

About what could have been

An applause for those who have the strength

To stand against the wind

I see rats as running shadows

Alleys black and pearl

White skin, powdered nose tips

Vacant dancers, vacant girls

Oh, bring me back to those golden days

like a storm in a hat

I imagine a boat that just sank

Why did you take me?

Like storms often do

You took me and shook me and left

But the older they play

The younger they get

And the storm made me ten years older in a day
