Through the night

We play through the night
I dream that I’m magic
I dream that I’m safe
I dream, I dream

Hey man, when you look on the diamond
You know that little diamond girl
That you see me lookin’ for

Post-it pens fly
Monsters fly
From their lives
They took over
And did injustice.

I won’t see you now
I won’t wait for you
Won’t meet you now
I just know you’re not for me

Empty bones, empty bones,
You drink the night
Till you reach your goal,
I love you as you are

Long time
You’re living next to nobody
On a mountain of wonder

You made me smile
You made me cry
And if I had a heart
For you I would have cried

Every living thing must die
You weigh metal weighing your soul
You weigh things like wallpaper
And then you return

In relief of being backed up
By bad light and bad luck
I’d like to see you in your weeping

I saw you down in the street in the evening
And it seemed like we had no time for one more night
