Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplight just swaying and the phone lines are down
Floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying
And baby I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

You, you shimmy-shook my boat
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me
Where am I now
Oh, baby where do I sleep?
Feels so good but I'm old
Two thousand years of chasing, taking it's toll

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

    favourite lines: open up your eyes, you keep on crying baby i'll bleed you dry the skies they blink at me, i see a storm bubbling up from the sea

    your shimmy shook my bones, leaving me stranded all in love on my own do you think of me?

    one of their best written songs ever.
