Everything Beautiful Is Burning

Three o’clock crazy, the old world has died
I watched you rise from the ashes, pale but dignified
I know for a while it felt like everything beautiful was burning
The tightness of years fell from your face
Words that were clumsy cut to the chase
I know for a while it felt like everything beautiful was burning
Oh yeah,
It was a close call by anyone’s standards
A free fall into the dark
Waiting for, the first sight of the sunlight baby
Don’t turn your face away
From the first sight of the sunlight
When all the signs say it’s here to stay, it's here to stay
Your sorrow was secret under the ground
It rose up and bit you trying to get out
I know for a while it felt like everyone close to you was leaving
You jumped all the red lights, thought up a wild design
Swore like a trooper, shone like a Rubenstein
I know for a while it felt like everyone close to you was leaving
Oh yeah,
It was a close call by anyone’s standards
A free fall into the dark
Waiting for, the first sight of the sunlight baby
Don’t turn your face away
From the first sight of the sunlight
When all the signs say it’s here to stay
All your ghosts, all your ghosts
Lift their glasses and drink a silent toast
To your recovery
Here it comes, that sweet sunshine
Don’t turn your face away
From the first sight of the sunlight
Don’t turn your face away
From the first sight of the sunlight
Don’t turn your face away
From the first sight of the sunlight
When all the signs say it’s here to stay
Oh it's here to stay
It's here to stay
It's here to stay
