Mark Oliver Everett - Dead of Winter lyrics

Standing in the dark outside the house Breathing the cold and sterile air Well I was thinking how it must feel To see that little light And watch it as it disappears And fades into And fades into the night So I know you're going pretty soon Radiation sore throat got your tongue Magic markers tattoo you And show it where to aim And strangers break their promises You won't feel any You won't feel any pain And the streets are jammed with cars Rockin' their horns To race to the wire Of the unfinished line Thought that I'd forget all about the past But it doesn't let me run too fast And I just wanna stand outside And know that this is right And this is true And I will not Fade into Fade into the night Standing here in the dark
