Shab Bekheir from Moon Orchids by Moon Orchids

The sidewalks in Jakarta will swallow you whole
Look at them the wrong way and you'll never live to show
Those glimmers of hope that prevail through your cynical smile

I knew a man who said I looked a lot like you
He was restless and he prayed for a solution or two
He was pointing to the sky in search of universal truths

The high road led to doldrums, and the low road led to rust
Give me something stronger for to mitigate my lust
I have seen what it means to be absolutely free

So I touched upon the pillars of another place and time
Like some vulgar effigy, they crackled with delight
At the premise of a newfound affection, a second lease on life

And I've known you all too briefly, but I've loved you for so long
I promise you I'll stay until the end of this song
