Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The long knife of the sun rising

Up the horizon and into our tired eyes

The spell of night is struck down

Our second sight is bleeding out

Anna, can I come and walk you home?

I'm not gonna wanna be alone

Beaten up when the sunlight comes

Bullied and cut by the clock on the wall

[Verse 2]

Take the morning and the chlorinous light

You can have the afternoon, bury the evening, too

Give me the gathering calm of the night

When the day is done, the rest is coming on

Under the pitch and the pull of the moon

Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and

Bring in the shadows to cover our flaws

When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on

[Verse 3]

Coming on

Coming on

Coming on

[Verse 4]

You belong out of that uniform

Out in the streets when everyone else is asleep

See the way the body sways in empty air

When there's nobody there

And you don't even care if there is

[Verse 5]

Anna, can I be to you like that?

Cover your shame with a shield of black

Cover your body with my trembling hands

And you're dancing while I hold them back

[Verse 6]

Hold back the morning and the chlorinous light

Have at the afternoon, bury the evening, too

Let's hide together in calm of the night

When the day is done, the rest is coming on

Under the pitch and the pull of the moon

Sweet, silver medicines swim in my temples and

Bring in the shadows to cover our wounds

When the pain is gone and the rest is coming on

[Verse 7]

Coming on

Coming on

Coming on

Coming on

Coming on
