lyrics

(a tulip tea glass rings)
(hu!)

The factory ate the morning sun
It chewed my father's forty years
They shut the gates, the shift is done
They paid him with a clock and cheers
(a clock!)

He winds it every night at nine
(tick, tick)
It keeps their time, it don't keep mine

Burn, copper sky, burn
Copper sky, copper sky
Give my father back his turn
Burn, copper sky, burn
(hey! hey!)

I ride the dolmuş past the gate
The chimney still coughs up the dawn
Some suit inside is working late
Counting the years my father's gone
(count them!)

Grief is a string — I tuned it tight
(tighter)
Tonight it plays me, and I bite
(and the scream comes)

Burn, copper sky, burn
Copper sky, copper sky
Give my father back his turn
Burn, copper sky, burn
(hey! hey!)

(the tea glass, empty now)
(burn... burn...)
