[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig]

No time to discuss it

Can't speak when the waves reach our house upon the dunes

Time cannot be trusted

When the police come, they always come too soon

Life felt like heaven today

Like a foreign car though we are American-made

I thought I'd probably stay

But before I know, I know

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig]

My Christian heart cannot withstand

The thundering arena

I'll see you when the violence ends

For now, ciao ciao, Bambina

[Verse 2: Ezra Koenig]

No signs of injustice

No signs, but the flames that are filling up the room

Fire cannot be trusted

When the engines come, they always come too soon

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig]

My Christian heart cannot withstand

The thundering arena

I'll see you when the violence ends

For now, ciao ciao, Bambina

My Christian heart cannot withstand

The thundering arena

I'll see you when the violence ends

For now, ciao ciao, Bambina

[Outro: Ariel Rechtshaid]

Uh, to an extent, yeah
