I'm calling long distance
Can you meet me for a coffee
Maybe someplace new
If we ever get lost
Away from reality
Way to a different view
But I'll need a window
Straight into the night
Only after daylight
Has left the fight
And my eyes turn to black
And the city lights crack
There's no way of going back
So go now with blood on your lips
Looking for a different answer
Eyes wide, fall through the eclipse
Toward the morning dancer
Your voice on the phone
A path to eternity
Flooding the corridor
And we turn on the light
When they wake in the night
Their little voice is sore
I can see it, I can feel it
I could lose myself in this
This glow brings a haze
Of a misty parade
And the memory always
So go now with blood on your lips
Looking for a different answer
Eyes wide, fall through the eclipse
Toward the morning dancer
I'm calling long distance
Can you meet me for a coffee
Maybe someplace new
If we ever get lost
Away from reality
Way to a different view
Your voice on the phone
A path to eternity
Flooding the corridor
And we turn on the light
When they wake in the night
Their little voice is sore
So go now with blood on your lips
Looking for a different answer
Eyes wide, fall through the eclipse
Toward the morning dancer
