Liam Frost - The City Is At Standstill lyrics

rate 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

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
