We wanted to implement a plan to cover the extent Of all the trials and tribulations we all underwent Whispering in alleyways, secret lines we'd never say To anyone who walks without a limp
Planning for a time in which everyone else made the switch Deciding they would jump instead of run But something lodged itself into the gears that brought us all to you We pleaded to the night to take us home
And when the evening light is fading We're still waiting for your wayward kiss And in the belly of the lion I am trying to remember what we missed
We collected rabbit's feet, we screwed the land and sowed the sea We found the space between the borderlines We yelled our names over the noise, we saved the girls and drowned the boys We lay down and we waited for a sign
And when the evening light is fading We're still waiting for you here on this road And in the belly of the lion I am trying to breathe through his nose
