You wouldn't think it would get this dark
Driving down the stretch of ??? boulevard
But the sodium lights don't seem to reach as far
From within the cheap tint of this goddamned car
Still there's just enough glare to block out the stars
I traced the familiar length of the street like a scar
All the curves and the angles, all committed to heart
And after all of this time, it shouldn't be this hard
To go home
Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here
Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here alive
Get me out of here alive
I head North towards a burning park?
Where dry winds been churning the ashes and sparks
To climb up on a bluff black beaten and charred
And behold the blinking grid of the boulevards
?Planes stretching far out to a distant dawn?
Veins pumping cars into a lonely heart
Full of paper thin chambers keeping us apart
Where I sleep to keep waiting for my life to start
On it's own
On it's own
Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here
Come on, sunlight
Get me out of here alive
Get me out of here alive
I'm only unsure of "burning park" and "Planes stretching far out to a distant dawn." the rest I'm pretty confident of. I absolutely love the line "Veins pumping cars into a lonely heart
Full of paper thin chambers keeping us apart." Beautiful word choice and imagery.
