| For years we’ve lived in the dark
|
| Three years of this and not one day of those years wasn’t ours
|
| I want to move, we ought to leave when the nightmares start
|
| And the city’s closed itself in
|
| So every road now seems to stop where it used to begin
|
| This heart’s so tired, it can’t keep up with the traffickings
|
| Oh, house by house, and street by street
|
| The lights go out; |
| the city is sleeping
|
| If we move carefully enough
|
| Oh, we can make our escape before she wakes up
|
| She’s in a deep enough dream
|
| That I could take us out ten times and nobody would see
|
| Would every time until I’m sure that she’s missing me
|
| Oh, house by house, and street by street
|
| The lights go out; |
| the city is sleeping
|
| If we move carefully enough
|
| Oh, we can make our escape before she wakes up
|
| And she thinks that we’ll never leave
|
| She thinks that we’ll never leave
|
| She thinks that we’ll never leave
|
| We could, but we’ll never leave
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
|
| Oh, house by house, and street by street
|
| The lights go out; |
| the city is sleeping
|
| If we move carefully enough
|
| We can make our escape before she wakes up
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
|
| You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city) |
