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 sh** for you Get beat to sh** 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
