lyrics

We watched a film, as far as I could tell,
Every frame was a living hell.
And so we fell like shadows down a well, a hard rain in a soft cell.
Lie-la-lie… la-lie…la lie… lie la lie
The boy came to me, whispering low, hung his letter jacket over the window.
I fell in love with that bare bulb’s glow
While he broke everything everywhere I let him go.
Lie-la-lie… la-lie…la lie… lie la lie… don’t die.

If I could surf the black tide, that’s drowning me from the inside.
I’d stagger away, with a streetwalker's pride.
But I’m on Rockaway Beach, floating with the hollow men.
Falling through the days again.

I have seen my King, in these broken hours, when all the holes unfold like flowers.
You can pray for peace from atop the tower,
But on the stairs there's nothing to pray for but power.
Lie-la-lie… la-lie…la lie… lie la lie… don’t die.

If I could surf the black tide, that’s drowning me from the inside.
I’d stagger away, with a streetwalker's pride.
But I’m on Rockaway Beach, floating with the hollow men.
Falling through the days again.

NEON traces the outline of a body on the floor,
And I can’t come, And I can’t go... home anymore…


On each pale page, I've left a bruise,
Because I'd given them everything but my blues.
You can bet your life, But you can't choose
You can't choose how to lose.
Lie-la-lie… la-lie…la lie… lie la lie… don’t try.

If I could surf the black tide, that’s drowning me from the inside.
I’d stagger away, with a streetwalker's pride.
But I’m on Rockaway Beach, floating with the hollow men.
Falling through the days again.
I think that we’re dreaming…
I think that we’re all dreaming….

And when it’s time to wake up, time to wake up, time to wake up.
When it’s time to wake up, how will we know?
How will we know?
How will we know?
How little swans?
How? How?
