American Darkness Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you come dead last
In battles long past
Intended to rip my heart out
Oracle of your secrets

[Verse 2]
Your eye was trained on me
As I stood before you, unbuttoning
Kiss me as the bell tolls
Swiftly, as the horses ride

[Chorus]
Won't you dance?
Won't you dance?
Won't you dance?
Won't you dance?

[Verse 3]
Damn my dreams, the tormentors
Last night your mouth was on my skin
And the poppies were like fire on the mountain
I took your hand and led you home

[Verse 4]
All my old ways have started kickin' in
And my bad days are comin' round again
Left here in American darkness
River on fire and sun eclipsed

[Chorus]
Won't you dance?
Won't you dance?
Won't you dance?
Won't you dance?

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm comin'
'Cause I'm comin'
'Cause I'm comin'
'Cause I'm comin'

[Outro]
When you come
When you come
When you come
When you come back to me
