It's four and crawling
A magpie morning
You're waking up in glue
I'm not the cut-glass
I set myself up as
But I know a thing or two
Even though your heart is jumping
Living on the edge of something
Is like sleeping in the road
You're a Roman candle fizzing
And every kid is taught that something
This bright should explode
The truth is hollow
And crows that follow
Are your singing telegram
They worship your frown
Their kettle drums drown
All sense of who you are
Even though your heart is jumping
Living on the edge of something
Is like sleeping in the road
You're a Roman candle fizzing
And every kid is taught that something
This bright should explode
How I love you, how
How I love you, how
How I love you, how
How I love you, how
This city swallowed
Belched and bellowed
You out into the world
Even though your heart is jumping
Living on the edge of something
Is like sleeping in the road
You're a Roman candle fizzing
And every kid is taught that something
This bright should explode
Even though your heart is jumping
Living on the edge of something
Is like sleeping in the road
You're a Roman candle fizzing
And every kid is taught that something
This bright should explode
Yeah
This bright should explode
Oh oh oh
This bright
Will explode
