Parlour Bells - Thank God For The Night lyrics

Soon the moon will fill your mouth with awe And the world will roll back in your head When the clocks start spinning off the road Then you'll know, yeah then you'll know Until the daybreak robs us blind, And our dreams are exposed to light Thank God for the night Thank God for the night Thank God for the night On currents of sheets we lie, With this book as our only reply (Hear it say, drift away) But it not that we need the rest, Just the freedom to howl at the breast (Cold and white, j**el of the night) To destroy ourselves each time It's a hunger it's instinct, it's a rite Thank God for the night Thank God for the night Thank God for the night With our pupils open wide We can swallow the dancers alive It's where the actors and janitors cry And pay the same for a light The musicians have arrived To equalize their gripes Thank God for the night Thank God for the night Thank God for the night Until the lullabies subside And our dreams are exposed to light Thank God for the night Thank God for the night Thank God for the night
