lyrics

We slipped off the black jeans and sank in the chlorine, damning as a dream. I'm living in last night. Overheated like a bad rhyme, mist on her neckline, corrupt by design—I'm living in last night. Graveyard girl in grey, all cherry, oak and Bombay. You kissed me in the worst way, living in last night. No song can return it if you just haven't earned it. Learn and relearn it, living in last night. A brief, pale speck on the moon-drenched deck, tangled, wrecked—what did we expect? Do you think you were chosen to stay back, frozen in some receding moment? Don't you dare tonight. There's comfort in the cafes. There's angels in the airwaves. There's bar lights and ballets. Come on out tonight. Where the demons fear to tread, there's a victory girl in red, wits and her wings spread, coming out tonight. I'm ripe for the reprise. I'm high as a high-rise, wide-eyed and unwise, coming out tonight.
