Empires - The Electric Swing Circus

Baby Empires crumble all the time Pay it no mind You just happened to witness mine Don't let all the light fall from your eyes Come, come Empires crumble all the time How can a dismally typical Tuesday Delivering blues with lead in its canopy Scruff and pin me and let's make a man of me Turn up the pounding of the hearts all around And I'm bound to get busy with checking on the living And I'll wring out their hands and my eyes with the sobbing But how can a bland unremarkable typical Tuesday be Day of the Dead? Baby Empires crumble all the time Pay it no mind You just happened to witness mine Don't let all the light fall from your eyes Come, come Empires crumble all the time How can a dismally typical Tuesday Delivering blues with lead in its canopy Scruff and pin me and let's make a man of me Turn up the pounding of the hearts all around And I'm bound to get busy on checking on the living And I'll wring out their hands and my eyes with the sobbing But how can a bland unremarkable typical Tuesday be Day of the Dead? Baby Empires crumble all the time

You called my name in the dark Called me back to the start The condensation is building tension Stubborn silence is formed Around our bodies it's warm The cool wet grasses as summer passes Frightened under attack Fallen flat on my back Arms and legs I'm too scared to beg Harm me most when it's light Thought of you don't sit right I need the darkness a desperate embrace Razing cities to dust Faces dripping in lust Fallen empires and raging bushfires All your words confounded Secret lives bound in bed Living backwards and tangled back words Ruined everything right So good can't see the light From my cave I can see the wave Fallen empires and raging bushfires We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light We are the light... (Run to the fire) (Run to the fire) (Run to the fire) (Run to the fire) (Run to the fire) (Run to the fire)
