Draw Down The Stars Lyrics

Coming back to the city
That I never quite leave
Picture you be the ocean
Picture me coughing into my sleeve

Like a snake eating snake you confuse me
Who's killer ? Who's captive ? Who's free ?
In a city that kills by constriction
Throw your streets around me and squeeze

And draw down the stars
Draw down the stars
What's in your heart?

The correct lyrics should be: Coming back to the city That I never quite leave Picture you by the ocean Picture me coughing into my sleeve

Like a snake-eating snake you confuse me Who's killer, who's captive, who's free In a city that kills by constriction Throw your streets around me and squeeze

And draw down the stars Draw down the stars What's in your heart Your heart

This fluorescent night will divide us And dissolve to a flickering screen And we all know each others secrets Things seen but not seen

And draw down the stars Draw down the stars What's in your heart

Draw down the stars Draw down the stars What's in your heart Your heart

Agreed, on the complete lyrics. Can someone do honour to this beautifil song?

Can't stand incomplete lyrics... And I so love this song... Don't care what it's about...

i think those couple of lines... "This fluorescent night will divide us And dissolve to a flickering screen " are so beautiful. they're the type ofwords that give you a picture in front of your eyes as you read them

It's about not liking living in the city and wanting to be able to see the stars and the real people instead of flourescent glow signs and gossip and fake celebrities...it's a lovely sentiment.
