May Day is rioting in the streets
The corner shop is closed
The pier had been torched
The act of creation changes skin
It should be time to buckle up
And time to break up
It is the first of May
And, for once, I feel quite okay
Try to pinch me if you dare
But this time I’m not going anywhere
Bonnie and Clyde have disappeared
There’s confusion in their nest
I can feel it in your chest
I’ll protect you
From chlorophyll and peels
Overshadowed by this light
I promise you’ll be alright
It is the first of May
And for once I feel quite okay
Try to pinch me if you dare
But this time I’m not going anywhere
May Day is rioting in the streets
Getting ready for the fight -
But I promise you’ll be alright/
It is the first of May
And for once I feel quite okay
Try to pinch me if you dare
But this time I’m not going anywhere
