| Lights out on Division Street
|
| and all the hate that rises
|
| through the cracks in the pavement,
|
| as the temperature falls.
|
| (This is where is hits the ground)
|
| Lights out on Division Street
|
| I’m repeating
|
| Goodbye to the memories,
|
| (the fever that will not break)
|
| the night is pouring down,
|
| it’s not enough to put this out,
|
| i’ll burn up before i wake up.
|
| (on Division Street)
|
| This is serious,
|
| This is serious,
|
| If this is serious
|
| I’ll hide my heart in dark parades.
|
| Lights out on Division Street
|
| I held you tight like an empty bottle…
|
| But the glass broke
|
| (and the poison spilled out of your mouth)
|
| Hello? |
| Hello? |
| Is anybody there?
|
| The house turned black and sat in silence
|
| (while a mockingbird sang)
|
| lalalalalala, listen to yourself
|
| go on and on, as if you spoke to someone else.
|
| Lights out on Division Street
|
| I’m repeating
|
| Goodbye to the memories,
|
| (the fever that will not break)
|
| the night is pouring down,
|
| its not enough to put this out,
|
| i’ll burn up before i wake up.
|
| (on Division Street)
|
| This is serious,
|
| This is serious,
|
| If this is serious
|
| I’ll hide my heart in dark parades.
|
| To dance between the scissor’s blades
|
| without getting cut.
|
| I drew an X on your city’s name
|
| LIGHTS OUT. |
| BLACK OUT. |
| BLOW OUT THE CANDLE AGAIN.
|
| spin the room around
|
| FALL DOWN. |
| PASS OUT. |
| GET UP. |
| I CAN’T KEEP REPEATING.
|
| Between the footsteps I hear crickets in the trees
|
| a silent army marching with me through a swarm of bees
|
| a needle dragged across a record slowing down
|
| along Division St. the lights were dying out
|
| endless rows of houses stretched on for miles and miles and miles…
|
| TURN THE WINDOWS BLACK
|
| Lights out on Division Street
|
| repeating (repeat it)
|
| Lights out on Division Street
|
| repeating, (turn the windows black)
|
| lights out. |
| lights out. |
| lights out.
|
| turn the windows black
|
| la la la la la la
|
| listen to yourself. |
