lyrics

He and Yves were home in the village
broke and blessed and basking in it
Couldn’t scrape two pennies together
but richer than the richest cynic
He and Yves looked up at the high-rise
where the first-class fuckers reside
Laughter filled their garden apartment
to form a lowly lovers’ reply

Comfy in the catastrophe
(The limbo)
Cozy in the calamity
(leads to)
Comfy in the catastrophe
(the good road)
Cozy in the calamity

He and Yves were queens of the have-nots,
could make each other come with a nod
The haves were half of nothing in spirit,
patriarchal automatons
He and Yves were making a model
with woven songs and cut-up novels
A world for the meek to inherit,
a mosaic made from broken bottles

Comfy in the catastrophe
(The limbo)
Cozy in the calamity
(leads to)
Comfy in the catastrophe
(the good road)
Cozy in the calamity

Only to make and be made
Only to love and be loved
Oh, utopia!

Comfy in the catastrophe
(The limbo)
Cozy in the calamity
(leads to)
Comfy in the catastrophe
(the good road)
Cozy in the calamity
