The City is at Standstill
I know this world is vicious darling, lets make tracks now. We'll black out all the city lights and drink ‘til we both grow numb, then lay down to sleep. I feel like I ran all day. Then maybe everything would stop for one night, at last. Your eyes are looking bright girl, just like fireflies caught in a glass. You scrub up pretty well, all dressed in your finery.
How will they speak of us when the night is gone? The incessant whisper in your ear that haunted you too long. How you shivered as the wind shook through the alleyways and boxcars. Lets dance away like spectres, drifting into the dark. Oh I know a place we can go. I know this world is vicious darling, lets make tracks now. We'll burn every history book and start our lives here. Drink up, forget all about the loss that a lifetime brought our way. To the end of violence and our ficticious war. For every crooked politician, theres a thousand more. Drink up, forget all about the loss that a lifetime brought our way. And all at once my eyes were wide and love had filled my world with light. Oh love has filled my world with light. Can you see me? |
