Train under water
by Bright Eyes
lyricscopy.com
You were born inside of a raindrop
I watched you falling to your death
And the sun, well she could not save you
She´d fallen down too, now the streets are wet
Body of water
Toxic and timeless
Atlantic ocean
New York skyline
I always get lost
When I leave the village
So I couldn´t come meet you
In Brooklyn last night
But I sing glory from my lowest
And I will say peace to the people I meet
While the world waits for an explosion
That instant of life
That wipes the slate clean
So don´t be fooled
No don´t get lied to
Love was always cruel
And don´t act strange
Don´t be a stranger
It happened to me, now it´s happening to you
But if you take that train under water then we could talk it through
Well if I could tame
All of my desires
Wait out the weather that howls in my brain
Because it seems
That it´s always changing
The winds indecision
The sorrowful rain
Yeah, I was a postcard
I was a record
I was a camera
Until I went blind
And now I´m riding
All over this island
Looking for something
To open my eyes
But I still sing glory from my high rise
And I will say thanks if you´re pouring my drinks
While the world waits for an explosion
That moment in time, when we´ll be set free
So don´t stay mad
Just let some time pass
And in the morning you´ll wake feeling new
And if I don´t come back
I mean if I get side tracked
It´s only cause I wanted to
I´m keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue
I watched you falling to your death
And the sun, well she could not save you
She´d fallen down too, now the streets are wet
Body of water
Toxic and timeless
Atlantic ocean
New York skyline
I always get lost
When I leave the village
So I couldn´t come meet you
In Brooklyn last night
But I sing glory from my lowest
And I will say peace to the people I meet
While the world waits for an explosion
That instant of life
That wipes the slate clean
So don´t be fooled
No don´t get lied to
Love was always cruel
And don´t act strange
Don´t be a stranger
It happened to me, now it´s happening to you
But if you take that train under water then we could talk it through
Well if I could tame
All of my desires
Wait out the weather that howls in my brain
Because it seems
That it´s always changing
The winds indecision
The sorrowful rain
Yeah, I was a postcard
I was a record
I was a camera
Until I went blind
And now I´m riding
All over this island
Looking for something
To open my eyes
But I still sing glory from my high rise
And I will say thanks if you´re pouring my drinks
While the world waits for an explosion
That moment in time, when we´ll be set free
So don´t stay mad
Just let some time pass
And in the morning you´ll wake feeling new
And if I don´t come back
I mean if I get side tracked
It´s only cause I wanted to
I´m keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue
