Charlie asked the girl why her skin was glowing
asked her where she’d been and where she was going
Her reply was succinct and just dripping with ink
She left him tongued tied, oh so weak and flustered as she ? with all the apathy that she could muster said To Hell Are you coming angel
Let’s live out scenes from movie screens from our cheap seats onto the dance floor
We’ll hotbox old cars, drive ‘em just as far as we can before the night falls to its knees
There ain’t nothing here left for me
Just for tonight, we can be all that we want to be
Charlie said Hey baby, I got no money
I’m not going anywhere but I’ll still take you honey
Let’s run to the shore, I don’t wanna stay here no more
Christ it seems I’m cursed to live by the moonlight
It means I see the dawn before any of you might
Oh, let me go, I’d rather drown than just float
Let’s live out scenes from movie screens from our cheap seats onto the dance floor
We’ll hotbox old cars, drive ‘em just as far as we can before the night falls to its knees
There ain’t nothing here left for me Just for tonight, we can be all that we want to be
I’m out of luck Time won’t slow I’m on the slab… so it goes Oh comfort, I was never sold
The night is still young but the story’s so old
We’re out of time Don’t you know we’ve nothing left once blood runs cold
We’ll live on through the stories told
The night’s on its knees oh but I can’t go home
