Lyrics
Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
First off let me say you look so tired
Rest your head and shut your eyes
Empty ambition blankets the sky
I'm thinking 'bout another world tonight
So drop the gown
The game's over just push your face into the fight
And it breaks my heart like dancing up all night
Ride so high we both start thinking 'bout another world tonight
And it feels so wrong
Like nothing we've ever felt before
The stranger's candy
Takes you where you ought to be
In broken alleys
In the back of every street
Close your eyes tonight
Baby you can have it
Ooh baby, gnaw me down to the bone
Soon you'll find I'm never gonna take you back home
Well there's so much you never told me
And there's not much I want to know
'Cause your pretty face will do just fine you'll be the star
Of my every last show
Let's go for a long ride
I'll show you places you won't ever want to leave
The stranger's candy
Takes you where you ought to be
In broken alleys
In the back of every street
The stranger's candy
In broken alleys tonight
We could bring it all down
We could bring it all down
They think this body's a dead note
Dancing to the beat but they'll never see this corpse
Coming 'till it kills them
