I know this world is vicious darling, let's make tracks Now we'll black out all the city lights and drink 'til we both grow numb And lay down to sleep, I feel like I ran all day Then maybe everything will stop for one night at last Your eyes are looking bright girl, like fireflies caught in a glass You scrub up pretty well, all dressed in your finery And how will they speak of us when the night is gone? The incessant whisper in your ear that haunted you too long How you shivered, as the wind shook through the alleyways And boxcars so let's dance, we like spectres drifting into the dark Oh I know a place we can go I know this world is vicious darling, let's make tracks Now we'll burn up every history book and start our lives here Drink up, forget all about the loss that a lifetime brought our way End the violence and our fictitious war For every crooked politician there's a thousand more Drink up, forget all about the loss that a lifetime brought our way And all at once my eyes were wide, love Filled my world with light, oh love Filled my world with light Can you see me? Can you see me? Can you see me? Can you see me? I know this world is vicious darling, let's make tracks Now we'll black out all the city lights and drink 'til we both grow numb Then lay down to sleep, I feel like I ran all day
