|
Now it's time |
|
To wrap our fears in the night |
|
And on the first day |
|
We'll dress this city in flames |
|
After all the things you say |
|
You hate me for being this way |
|
Still you won't let go of old ideals |
|
There is no headline to read at night |
|
When the record skips |
|
And you're not holding the needle |
|
We all sing the songs of separation |
|
And we watch our lives bleed out through our hands |
|
That's how it was on the first day |
|
We saw Paris in flames |
|
Rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain |
|
Here in this collapsed lung of a borough |
|
There is no sunlight |
|
The sunlight is manufactured in a windowless room |
|
Distant and incoherent |
|
Businessmen hang themselves |
|
We all sing the songs of separation |
|
And we watch our lives bleed out through our hands |
|
That's how it was on the first day |
|
We saw Paris in flames |
|
The lower east side is a jukebox |
|
Playing the deadman's crescendo |
|
The needle is a vector |
|
An intersection that we all must cross |
|
A dimly lit hallway where shadows |
|
Of moths decorate the walls |
|
Discard this message |
|
Discard this message |
|
Burn the city down, down |
|
Discard this message |
|
Throw this bottle back in the ocean |
|
Rip this page from the history books |
|
Smash all the street signs |
|
Erase all the maps, forget my name |
|
Forget my face, forget my name |
|
Because it's going to rain |
|
And it never ends |
|
Rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain, rain down |
|
I think it's going to rain |
