Uummannaq Song

Hold your fire
I’m coming out and I’ll tell you the truth
I was trying to raise my roof
Did you see it
That I needed to prove
That my stinger always stays
You said she’s beautiful when she plays
Did I hit you in the proper place

Suddenly
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Before I head for home

It’s my turn
With the spotlight burning a hole
But my bird-heart’s turning cold
As the temperature rises all around
To the sound of a ticking bomb
And then it’s not just showing off here
You know there’s something going on here
Going on here

Suddenly
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Well I could live in this town
Before I head for home

And considered it odd
That I ever stayed
ever stayed
That I ever stayed
ever stayed
That I ever stayed
ever stayed
That I ever stayed
ever stayed

You know that feeling you get
when you don’t want to leave
that feeling you get
when you don’t want to leave
that feeling you get
when you don’t want to leave

That feeling when you don’t want to leave

Suddenly
I, oh well I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years
Yes I could live in this town
Five cold years before I
Well I could live in this town
In Uummannaq
In Uummannaq
Before I head for home
And considered it odd
That I ever stayed
