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



[Chorus 1]

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



[Chorus 2]

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



You know that feeling you get

when you don't want to leave



That feeling when you don't want to leave



[Chorus]

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
