Moon Safari - Lover's End Pt. III Skellefteå Serenade lyrics

The mountain mob is on their way Downtown with the '208' To seal this summers fate Mary's on the city square She flashes her engagement ring To anyone who cares All the poets are blunt tonight As Bishop's arms gone dry The lonely lover's just arrived He's tearing every doorway down And invites the darkness again Bridge & Tunnel's out tonight All dressed up for one last bout With dreamy eyes, they carry on As if nothing could breaks their hearts The streets are slitherin' like a snake And the shadows are standing guard Beneath a k**er moon Mary's dancing to the beat Of the howling mob to Merchant St. One last retreat The promise of the southbound train Fades with every drink And dies with the rain Bridge & Tunnel's out tonight Stomp those high nosed ba*tards down In one last fight, today we'll make a new Jerusalem We'll meet again in cold December Another night no one remembers In the distance Mary's singing "This is my hometown, yeah this is my home til' I die" Why does the world spin Why does the sun shine Why does the world spin Why does the sun shine Under the cold light of God's street lamp He walks alone the original supertramp King of the sticks, mayor of madness It gets us all in the end, in this part of the world Ol' Rubberfeet, if you could see us now Five years have pa**ed since your last bike ride The city's outsourced and the factory's shutting down Culture's been boiled down to a chorus they all can sing But they've stopped believin' the words Ol' Rubberfeet, if you could see us now Ol' Rubberfeet, we really get you now In this town the only movement Is by the driftwood down the river Let everyone and everything just drown in the dam And get lost in the deep blue sea Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay To those that didn't matter anyway For years I've said goodbye to this old town The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done The chic elite and all the punks meet Out on the porch, where we're all just rubberfeet Burning the streets just like a wildfire You'd better burn all your maps to get out of this trap Ol' Rubberfeet our home has lost its soul Ol' Rubberfeet, no heroes in this show When autumn falls down like a curtain And all the roads are quite uncertain The dream postponed just weighs you down Face it my friend, you are stuck in this lonely town Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay Cheers to all the ones I wished away For years I've said goodbye to this old town The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done I heard you're leaving the city, you're heading back north For years I have waited for you to come home But my bags they are all packed and I'm closing that door And the songs I gave you don't mean a thing anymore But you know that I love you You know that it's true You know that I love you You know that I do You know that I love you You know that it's true You know that I love You know that I love you Love you I'm never leaving, this place is my home I hope you've sorted your life out, but I guess you're alone I want to call you, but I'm much too proud I'll try to catch your face, but you're lost in the crowd But you know that I love you You know that it's true You know that I love you You know that I do You know that I love you You know that it's true You know that I love You know that I love you Love you Love you Life is but a waiting room And I guess I'm still waiting there for you I thought that I was only pa**ing through From the sunlit hill to the singing valley, I feel you everywhere Life is but a waiting room And I guess I'm still waiting there for you I thought that I was only pa**ing by Some of us burn in beautiful ways Some do believe that these are the days I've wasted these years just looking back But I've saved my best lines for one final act: A bitter kiss off to the memories of you Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay And here's to everyone that found their way For years I've said goodbye to this old town The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done I close my eyes, I'm home at last And all of the lost boys are here by my side I close my eyes, I'm home at last And all of the lost boys are here by my side Your love's got me on the run, But I'm never leaving my hometown Your love's got me on the run, But I'm never leaving my hometown.
