When The Lights Come On

  • The tapping of the feet seemed loud
    There's a barrel in a whirlwind cloud
    I danced with a Spaniard man
    'Til we had no breath left in our pounding chests
    I shuddered like I'm more bereft
    Danced grief from my pores
    Beat pounds like I'm knocking at the door

    The high hat stands like a feather
    I'm in, I'm in
    A paralytic loveless dream
    Not a single face I've seen
    Is a friend I recognize or recognizes me
    I blackout, I don't want your dim sum
    It's 3AM, I wanna dance 'til the sun comes
    I wanna fight your cousin
    I wanna tear through the night like an angel flare
    I'm a ten foot snare
    That cuts in the sky with no care, no care, no care, no

    A narcissist on a khaki stool
    The kids are not alright
    The kids are not

    Feels like I'm coming home
    Feels like I'm coming home

    A narcissist on a khaki stool
    The kids are not alright
    The kids are not Writer/s: Adam Devonshire, Jonathan Beavis, Joseph Talbot, Lee Kiernan, Mark Bowen
