lyrics

A wire rope was tearing through my hands
The flame was far too hot to touch
The plane was crashing into Neverland
The ice was fast and much too much

But, I won't let you go
No, I won't let you go

Oo, la, la...

I hear thunder

I lift a tethered door to find an empty space
There's a glow upon the easement
A cart of memories is wheeling into place
There's a quiet lack of friction

It's a cold day
A fresh start
A clean slate

My heart is a vacuum
Spinning velvet on the moon
I don't know where your love went
There's a flood in the basement
My heart is a vacuum

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I hear thunder

There's a rattle on the highway
Tangled asphalt on a Thursday
The ghosts are gathered by the crossroads
To see their lovers on the way home
They're standing softly in the snow
Beside wild mistletoe

Air in a tank
Fire the flank
Iron ships with their hips in the sink
I guess there's really nowhere left to go

There's a worm on the table
Oversold like the fable
And, is this all there is?
Is this what we get worse from?

Oo, yeah...

The raisin maids have waited all their life
To sell their fingerpaints to all who cry
Why were we standing there?
I'm sitting at a table by the fire

What are you running from my love?
What are you running from tonight?
May I come along this time?
To watch you beg
To watch you cry
To watch you burn
To watch us die

The raisin maids have waited all their life
To sell their fingerpaints to all who cry
Why are you standing here, now?
I'm sitting at a table by the fire
