Out here amongst the spit and hiss Of dreams all black and pistol whipped They crawl towards the morning with a sigh With easy grace and needy hands They murdered love's sweet circumstance And calmly fashioned flawless alibis Tell me we're leaving all this far behind us Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss No doubts or denials No truth, only smiles On his eyes the pennies hide The bruises of a sleepless night As light comes crashing in from high above He tries to speak of pain and loss But on his lips her finger falls When putting things in order ain't enough Tell me we're leaving all this far behind us Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss No doubts or denials No truth, only smiles To greet me when I get home Darkness pricks me Something's wrong Please say something Anything Take me away
