A Dim Entrance

The Good Life

Send me to bed.
My head's drowning out the thick and blurry sounds
Of horses on the highway.
The days are running down
And I'm drowning out this overwhelming sad.

Send me to bed, and tamp out the lamp.
In the dark the colors fade
To shades of grey and black.
But the city's fireflies wash the bedroom with light
Like an overwhelming sad.

I must be drowning out..the roar of the engines
As they escape into night.
The stillness unravels the long lost strands of our lives.
They drift out the window, they drift out to sea;
And I fall asleep.

    Yea, those lyrics are sort of wrong. Here some better lyrics straight from The Good Life site. Send me to bed. My head's drowning out the thick and blurry sounds of horses on the highway. The days are running down and I'm drowning out- this overwhelming sad. Send me to bed, and tamp out the lamp. In the dark the colors fade to shades of grey and black. But the city's fireflies wash the bedroom with light- like an overwhelming sad. I must be drowning out... the roar of the engines as they escape into night. The stillness unravels... the long lost strands of our lives. They drift out the window, they drift out to sea; and I fall asleep. To an overwhelming sad.

    see never say forever, i think this IS their best song. when i first heard this song, i was completely amazed and i had to find out who it was by. Since then ive heard every other album and every other song and havent found a single good song except for this, the rest were all just OK. i mean, i love this genre, i just don't think this band is great persay excluding this song
