No Bird Sing - Night Lights lyrics

Intro: This city was made out of irrigated rainwater Back when the black eyed sky made gifts Not since then has a sun-drenched lip Known bliss like a drought stamped out by a first kiss Verse: Send the misfit to reclaim the throne It's the last hope ‘ for the gla** rope Woven outta the notion that we're alone here Nobody can see us ‘ hear us turning in our sleep The panic on the street says: reinvent the polls Re-release the manifesto ‘ re-reacting to the fact that we let her go Much wiser then but tempted by the ignorants Who saw blue and a**umed that she was infinite Just like that last little ba*tard offspring Trying to pa** judgment as offering Swore up and down that the stars were as pretty as pearls If we turn out the night lights the city's gon' burn bright All that neon gas lay broke as every last word spoken in defense of his name [in defense of his name] Chorus: Your night lights are never gonna burn the same They're never gonna burn the same Verse: Let's see how this'll come together now that we destroyed the weathervane Shed the same blood ‘ just think of all the trust we've gained With the choir ‘ yea but swan song is symphony these days Old folks waiting on that western flame to cold smolder and change form Company dimes ‘ bled dry in the fist of a rainstorm All we ever wanted was power So we built a machine to hide the ghosts pulling strings in the tower We went to summer sub-culture camp to beat cancer Opened the body ma** and salted it back shut You can be a nuisance or you can join the fan club But you're in no position to stand and put both your hands up It's not an answer ‘ not this far away It's just the part where your heartbeat starts to break It's not an answer ‘ not this far away It's just the part where your heartbeat starts to break Chorus: Your night lights are never gonna burn the same They're never gonna burn the same
