lyrics
Your hair is red is enough to paint o’er my town.
And my verbs are vague enough without their proper noun.
So join me on the floor please, forget my war stories.
That just might take you till the morning.
Ya, that might take you all night
to forget how I fight
to forget how they died.
I took long enough to forget where I parked.
And your hair is black enough to distract me from the dark.
You start light revolutions and dance by pollution.
That just might get us till the morning.
Ya, that might take us all night.
To teach flame how to fight.
To pull the rope you threw tight.
To give my hand that sleight.
To make the dance you learned bright.
To scare the ghosts we have white.
To watch our bodies ignite.
To make a left turn from right.
To give the blind man his sight.
Ya, that’ll take us all night.
And my verbs are vague enough without their proper noun.
So join me on the floor please, forget my war stories.
That just might take you till the morning.
Ya, that might take you all night
to forget how I fight
to forget how they died.
I took long enough to forget where I parked.
And your hair is black enough to distract me from the dark.
You start light revolutions and dance by pollution.
That just might get us till the morning.
Ya, that might take us all night.
To teach flame how to fight.
To pull the rope you threw tight.
To give my hand that sleight.
To make the dance you learned bright.
To scare the ghosts we have white.
To watch our bodies ignite.
To make a left turn from right.
To give the blind man his sight.
Ya, that’ll take us all night.
