Lyrics
A Night In The Town
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.
I've been misplaced in so many ways
Broken battlegrounds, hiding veils of delicate deceit
Yet here I breathe
Teeth still gleam from holy water
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
Their voices sing:
Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
All because we never admitted a word
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings
Sentimental or just confusing
We lost what we had but we took it back
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?
I'm not who you think I am
And even if I thought you'd known
I never would have told you so
And more alarming
I would have done the very same
Would have stole more than your name
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders
I was in the wrong place
At the right time
And what's the worst I'd see
By giving myself to the earth below me
Not knowing how far I'd fall by casting away the ordinary?
Just how long can I stay in allusions formed here long before me?
And how long can I breathe the stolen breath you won beneath?
There's that subtle smile that did me in
She moves in agony reminds where I've been
She greets: I'd never let this happen again
Where's her heart?
Mimicking the patriarch
She's naive
