lyrics

(Beirut...)

I built the studio in a room with three walls
The fourth one left in a hurry in twenty-twenty
I never fixed it because the sound is better
(the sound is better)
And because fixing it would mean it was over

Everybody's leaving (leaving)
And everybody says they will come back

Rubble and gold
(rubble, rubble)
This city makes both out of the same day
Rubble and gold
I am not leaving, I am the archive

Three of my friends are in Dubai making triple
One is in Berlin, one is in a hospital in Paris
They send me money I do not ask for and I take it
(and I take it)
Pride is expensive and I am spending it on rent

(solo oud, 8 bars)
My grandmother's building is still standing.
That is not a metaphor. It is just standing.
(808 AND STRINGS SLAM BACK IN)

Rubble and gold
(rubble, rubble)
This city makes both out of the same day
Rubble and gold
I am not leaving, I am the archive

(rubble and gold...)
