Music and lyrics: Lilou & John

I stand alone on Joshua Bridge by the traffic light 

The rain feels like acid to my skin
I see a car that’s burning its lights are like the cold
Naked silver eyes of a scorpion

I follow the long road to the end of town

To a building site left to rust

The cranes look like preachers staring at the sky

Waiting for the blessing from a scorpion

All through this night when every thief crawls through my window 

I find someone has been walking in my shoes

I walk to the houses high up on the hill

Waiting like giants for the flood

I see through every curtain that shadows are asleep

Caught by the eyes of a scorpion

I see the storm clouds gather and lightning strike the trees

I raise my arms toward the falling sky

There was a time when people rushed along the streets

Blinded by the poison from a scorpion

An ambulance scream like a cry of pain through the city 

The driver is void and his eyes are lost beyond reason 

Block out the light from the street lights that shimmer like diamonds
Crowning a face living a life with no meaning

All through this night when every thief crawls through my window 

I find someone has been walking in my shoes

I come to the supermarket where the floor is gone

The roof is hanging like a broken jaw

I see a long lost child there abandoned to the flood

His empty eyes stung by scorpion

I walk up the staircase to see beyond the clouds

See the horizon open up

I can see the fires from the power plant explode

Into the night like blood from a scorpion

I wade across the river to the city cemetery

Walk across the flowers left to rot

I see in every headstone people trying to hide

They all carry the poison of a scorpion

All through this night when every thief crawls through my window

I find someone has been walking in my shoes

All through this night when every thief crawls through my window 

I find someone has been walking in my shoes
