Idlewild歌词

Once upon a row of house,
Tight skirts and baggy trousers
Grey men in cheap disguises
High hopes and higher rises
There lived a girl who was on a mission
There lived a boy who was under suspicion
Tried hard to stay beside her
Until the devil put his seed inside her
How?
You know how.
Sleep too long and the sand runs out
So close to midnight
Time to fly
Do or die
Stoned in the headlights
Here we lie
High and dry
The world will never see you
till you open your eyes
Say goodnight
Kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild
For two years he tried to reach her
Worshipped the ground beneath her
She she was always running
He he saw the end was coming
But now the story takes a turning
She wakes up and her sheets are burning
Head down against the fire
Now now now the table turns
She won't learn
Sleep too long and your bed starts burning
So close to midnight
Idlewild you don't know it
And you'll never need to
Here we lie
High and dry
The world will never see you
till you open your eyes
Say goodnight
Kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild
Idlewild
I thought that we were good together
I thought that we could
weather and weather
Whether or not the whys and wherefores
The high hopes were only
there because because…
Because I thought the only
thing between us
Was something shallow not a river so deep
we'd see us
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
And lay it on the banks to rot and fester
And now I smell it hanging like a Death Star
In Gretna Green, Derby, Manchester,
And I don't wanna hear it now
Here we lie
High and dry
The world will never see you
till you open your eyes
Say goodnight
Kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild
Idlewild
Kill the light
Idlewild
Kill the light
