Bless the tension[?] of the world outside my window Feel the beat of the walking wounded as they march Well rays of jealous light curl dirty fingers Try to pull me from the womb Dark is coming soon The horizon breathes its final breath of daylight With its lungs in defeat, the colors fade from its face So sleep, city, sleep Let the sun go down Just sleep, city, sleep Let the sun go down We will open up our eyes When the stars come out We will open up our eyes When the stars come out We're the blood in the veins of the cars on the neon streets And love won't go out of fashion with these hearts on our sleeves We put our hands up Put our hands up Put our hands up all night For now sleep city, sleep Let the sun go down We will open up our eyes When the stars come out We will open up our eyes When the stars come out We will open up our eyes When the stars come out We will open up our eyes When the stars come out Come out When the stars come out Come out When the stars come out Come out So sleep city, sleep Let the sun go down We will open up our eyes When the stars come out We will open up our eyes When the stars come out (Sleep city, sleep) We will open up our eyes When the stars come out (Sleep city, sleep) We will open up our eyes When the stars come out
