In so Deep

I'm carryin' weight – beast of burden streets of Ankara My feet they hurt – my saddle gonna wrench apart My hunger never stops – the wave it never crests I’m drowning in consequence

I’m in so deep – and I won’t let you down a bit It’s history – I made you all these promises Our worlds depart – the continents divide I’m in so deep – I can look you in the eye

Haven’t felt a falter – never told you a lie Is it in the realm – that the others will survive When I see you in the door – I’m clutching a sea wall In the Bosphorous

Long ago – she had my full devotion I changed her name – as did Constantinople I felt the streets go dead All the hawkers they had fled - Into armament

Behind a curtain – breathing incense and a huffin’ pipe Mural on the wall – the mountains of Antolia If I have to pick and choose I can’t crawl away from you - You’re in my heart

I’m in so deep – and I won’t let you down a bit It’s history – I made you all these promises Our world’s depart – the continents divide I’m in so deep – I can look you in the eye
