Saw a magician cut you in half so bloodless
Daunted, I applauded

Looking around at all them eyeless faces
You crept into me and stood alone
Arms stretched out to nothing

Like the memory of something gone wrong

Slip the darkness down to the harbour

Feel your star dress, burn in the water
Forget your promise, turn out your light
Lay down and sleep tonight

Dream of your sons, dream of your daughters
Come back to you


Got my guns in a row
I got my boys to the shore
Not all but we'll stay here all day long

And get beat to %#@! for you
Get beat to %#@! for you
Spinning a right that was never far off wrong

So in pieces your sons and in pieces your daughters
Come back to you


Good morning beautiful
I've waited all my life
To watch you breathe in

Stand up and decide
To set something, anything, on fire


It's spilling over your shoulders
The dawn
