Lights out on Division Street
and all the hate that rises through the cracks in the pavement as the temperature falls.
This is where it 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:
lalalalalalala.
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.
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.
Dance between the scissors? 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 Street 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...
I?m repeating.
Lights out on Division Street.
Repeating...
Turn the windows black.
Lights out.
Lights out.
Lights out.
Turn the windows black.
Lights out...
lalalalalalala, listen to yourself.
Turn the windows black.
