  • She may be young but she only likes old things
    And modern music it ain't to her taste
    She loves the natural light
    Captured in black and white

    She sees mirages of mountain ranges
    Within a blink of her eyes it changes
    Back to the open plain
    Oh no she can't explain

    I cry out, "Love, keep your arms around me"
    I am a bird that's in need of grounding
    I'm built to fly away
    I never learned how to stay

    The night is gonna fall
    And the vultures will surround you
    And when you're looking in the mirror
    What you see is gonna astound you
    But all these lines and greys refine
    They are the maps of our design
    Of what began on Monday morning

    Monday morning
    Monday morning

    Monday morning
    Monday morning

    The night is gonna fall
    And the vultures will surround you
    And when you're looking in the mirror
    What you see is gonna astound you
    But all these lines and greys refine
    They are the maps of our design
    Of what began on Monday morning

    Oh yes, the night is gonna fall
    And the vultures will surround you
    And when you're looking in the mirror
    What you see is gonna astound you
    And while the glow of youth in time eludes
    It's burning on inside of you
    It all began on Monday morning
