I Don't Want Any Trouble

from DISCO FOREST by Tavo Carbone

/

lyrics

Up and over mountains that tower in the sun
I'd be so very much more at home,
Far away from civilization.
For years I've been in the middle of a modicum of trouble
Living under a roof or two.
I've wanted so much to say goodbye to trouble and
I hadn't known how to,
But unlike most trouble that burns we'll vanquish in the sun
I've been chased by trouble as far as I can run
And now I'm gathering the crumbs.

Tangled up in a color that someone once said wasn't fun,
The only thing there's left to do is to be like the bird that flew and
Keep up with what keeps you on.

My pen is leaking tears from the inkwell, straight to you.
The clock-hands spin like a sickening carousel
Even when I don't want them to, but
I really can taste an ending to what I've been moving through
So I laugh as much as when I cried of every little thing
That trouble once put me through.

How have I been so ripe with trouble,
As fruit turns from ripe to bruised?
I don't want any trouble anymore.
