You stood high out of reach There at the top of the tower You blew out my bu*ts, blocked out the sun No end to the pull and the power A rope tied over the land Suddenly frayed and unwinding Eyes sharp as a warrior’s blade But in your own smoke you were blinded So come all you liars, you saints and lost souls One day’s black is another day’s gold It’s a strange place to see you tonight But it’s all or nothing And it’s gone What’s that racket Down on the street? Is it the year of the rat or the sheep? Smoke and sting, this chaos and reek The hum and the haze of the hollows It’s a ruse, a line, between yours and mine We’re dumping the body of evidence Spread that paper, cover your eyes And flee to the walls and shadows So come all you liars, you saints and lost souls One day’s black is another day’s gold It’s a strange place to see you tonight But it’s all or nothing And it’s gone So come all you liars, you saints and lost souls One day’s black is another day’s gold It’s a strange place to see you tonight But it’s all or nothing
