Made a home in a basement. Didn't think that I'd need the light. Cause all these plans I've been making. Get me out of here in time. . But it's always two steps backwards.
Downtown we let it go. Sunset high and our bodies low. Blood rush in the hazy glow. My hands, your bones. . Loose up we break the scene. One step deep as you fall to me.
I've been depending on the overgrown. Too many lovers that I'll never know. Counting my losses as I let them go. Heavy the water as I sink below. . Down, down, deep down.
They're building towers that are high enough to see the clouds. Yet it don't bother me. The elevators working overtime up and down. Yet it don't bother me.
I know it hurts sometimes but. You'll get over it. You'll find another life to live. I know you'll get over it. . I know you're sad and tired. You've got nothing left to give.
You got diamonds in your eyes tonight. Throwing fire, trying to make it right. You're getting higher than the ceiling lights. And fall in hard enough to lose the fight.
Sat back with the window down. Eighty an hour and the radio loud. The same songs with the same old rhymes. Tell me to shake it off and swing from the lights.
Before you came round my heart would never beat much faster. Before you came round I was ready to slow down. Before you came round I was heading for a small disaster.
All we do is hide away. All we do is, all we do is hide away. All we do is chase the day. All we do is, all we do is chase the day. . All we do is lie and wait.
Beyond the ocean size, I'm unaware. Locked out the other side. Like I was never there. Like I was never there. . They said the boat had sailed. I'd left them there.
There's a space in between. Like a grey evergreen. Where the hurt never mend. Stars still linger. On the pavement below. See a crack that I know. All the corners of you.
A room filled up with faces and the air's so thick, I taste it. Locking lips like they're all wasted, tangled hips like it's a spaceship. Heavy heads are racing down the hallways to the basement.
I sleep away all the light. I keep away, out of sight, out of sight. And when the day turns to night. I slip away and lose my mind, lose my mind. Oh my, my, my.
Hanging on a silver string. All the love that we could've been. Summer fading out the spring. Feel the warmth underneath your wings. And I will never let you go.
I could be the only, I could be the only one. . You got that throne. Baby you got that throne. That golden majestic glow. Delight, delight, delight, delight.
I'm getting high, getting high. Getting high on humans. . Sitting in the backseat, dead heat summer. Staring at the ground in a lucid light. I can feel a heartbeat built like thunder.
They're building towers that are high enough to see the clouds. But it don't bother me. The elevators working overtime up and down. Yet it don't bother me.
You walk around the town like you were born in a golden crown. You're speaking with the angels loud but no one understands ya. You got the sharpest bite as any killer sharper might.
Heading west to where the sun sleeps. City fallout let our lungs breathe. Can you hold me, I can't even speak. Oh my, here it goes. . And so the echoes slip in slowly.
Lovesick the beat inside my head. Waves struck a sea of bitterness. Lights out solo in the blue. Before I found you. . Days passed slowly, lost and low.
