Bloc Party - Biko (Mogwai Remix) Lyrics

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you've crossed the river Styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed

Was my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead?
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you to steal you from your gray
And we can dance in our front room again

Don't you know that when you stand, you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do
