She gave me a map for free With a layout of the graveyard Said time is short, here's my key Meet me out back when it gets dark Well, I never count on nothing But I leave my windows open And I'd follow the trail of her loves' scent Like a hound dog under the yellow moon Because after all, we're falling forward Fear is gone, at least for now Laugh along at our reflections Let's cut the rope and run I watched her walk across the fire And offer herself to the tide She eats her dreams like marmalade now And tries to heal herself inside She says we are all falling forward Falling into the rising sun It won't be long before we're long gone Let's cut the ropes and run It won't be long, it's such a short run She laughs and cries at the cuts and scrapes Like an actress in an Italian play
Walks off the fall and sways to a distant rhythm She's on the shoreline With her face caught in the waves Now she's standing at my front door She's like a Mona Lisa overdrive Fool with a goddess by his side In out of the wild blue Luckier than I deserve to be Guess we're all falling forward Falling into the rising sun Feeling strong enough to fall down Fear is gone, at least for now Gonna sing our song up to the streetlights To the dirty windows that line our streets When morning comes and we haven't slept yet Indira sings her siren songs to me Cops move us along, but they can't reach us Or stop the music that's playing in our heads It won't be long before we're long gone It's such a short run after all Gonna cut the ropes and run
