Keeping on the outside
Glimmer in the moonlight
Only shadows there dwell we are
Creeping on the edge of the darkWe feel warmth in the cold corners
Eyes in the back of our heads
We roll out when the day’s over
Chasing silhouettesWhen it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
We’ll be the last ones standing
We’ll be the last ones
We’ll be the last ones standingCity made of thin glass
Smoldering in pitch black
Sin so thick you can’t see the stars
Can’t tell good and evil apartWe feel warmth in the cold corners
Eyes in the back of our heads
We roll out when the day’s over
Chasing silhouettesWhen it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
When it all goes up in flames
We’ll be the last ones standing
We’ll be the last ones
We’ll be the last ones standing -
strange moon on the horizon
then we’re crawling in its wake
looking over our shoulders
counting up our past mistakescasting nets in autumn weather
reeling in the silver fray(?)
slow dancing closer into december
suddenly a touch awakeshey what do they know?
hey what do they know?
hey what do they hear, hear, hear(?)glorious we are together
we could leave the rest alone
we could hear the call of every new morning
we wake up where we belong*not the official lyrics. this is my own transcription because I couldn’t find them anywhere

These days the lovers trade their places
Dancing all around each other’s chairs
I can see the numbness on their faces
Jealousy fills up their hearts in pairs
So please could I be selfish with your body?
‘Cause I don’t think I could share you with nobodyOh when I have you
I’m gonna brand you with my lips
And all of the world will know that you’re mine now
We’ll never lose faith
‘Cause we’ll never forget this taste
My love has the power to keep the tide downOhh, I’ll get you tied down, tied down
Ohh ill get you tied down, tied downOhh, late at night you’ll hear the screaming echo
But we all pretend we never heard the cries in the daytime
Don’t you worry my touch won’t leave you hollow
I’m never going to let you change your mindOh, when I have you
I’m gonna brand you with my lips
And all of the world will know that you’re mine now
We’ll never lose faith
‘Cause we’ll never forget this taste
My love has the power to keep your tied downOhh, I’ll get you tied down, tied down
Ohh, I’ll get you tied down, tied down
Ohh, I’ll get you tied down, tied, ohh
Ohh, I’ll get you tied down, tied downDon’t be afraid to leave your mark
Give me the scars to remind me
Just how good you are (how good you are)
And if your faith turns into to dark
Pull me closer and know
That it’s enough to keep you tied downOhh, I’ll get you tied down, tied down
Ohh, I’ll get you tied down, tied down
Ohh, I’ll get you tied down, tied down
Ohh, I’ll get you tied down, tied downTied down
OhhSnow moon cuts the river
Into a thousand lights
Dancing for us
Dancing for us
Jasmine on the breeze fills my room
And perfumes my nights
Dreaming for us
Dreaming for usSo don’t worry ’bout it
The seasons were on our side
It was you before all of this
And now it’s you for a life
No, don’t worry ’bout it
The seasons were on our side
Even the greatest ideas
Have a life and dieSummer rain, the sky screams
With the things we can’t say
Speaking for us
Speaking for us
Leaves hang in the wind
On their way to decay
Ending for us
Ending for usSo don’t worry ’bout it
The seasons were on our side
Even the greatest ideas
Have a life and die
No, don’t worry ’bout it
The seasons were on our side
It was you before all of this
Now it’s you for a life(For the first time)
(For the first time)
(For the first time)
(For the first time)
And I feel it come
Feel it flood my lungs
Cut me into strips
I have come undone
And I feel it come
Feel it flood my lungs
Cut me into strips
I have come undone
I have come undone
I have come undone
I have come undone
I have come undone
(For the first time)I have come undone

Rare is this love
Keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleedingOh but the farrow know
Her hungry eyes, her ancient soul
It’s carried by the sneering menagerieKnow what it is to grow
Beneath her sky, her punishing cold
To slowly learn of her ancient miseryTo be twisted by something
A shame without a sin
Like how she twisted the bog man
After she married himRare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleedingBut in all the world
There is one lover worthy of her
With as many souls claimed as sheBut for all he’s worth
He still shatters always on her earth
The cause of every tear she’d ever weepRushing to shore to meet her
Foaming with loneliness
White hands to fondle and beat her
Give her his onlinessRare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleeding
Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleedingRare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleeding
Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleeding -
The flowers wither
And the clouds grow bigger
Up in the garden alone, I’m freezing but it’s fine
‘Cause I’m thinking of you
And all the things we could do
Running as fast as I can, glad I forgot to tie my shoesFalling isn’t really that bad
If it’s for you
Your lips, your blush, your eyes, your touchBaby, you are really something else
‘Cause I don’t think I have smiled like this before
When I spend my time with you it tends to stop
Honey, being around you is all I need
BabyDon’t worry ’bout me
It’s not as cold as it seems
So good to be the one who keeps you warm
These days, we’re all good though we’re walking under clouds, honey
Most of the time
I can’t believe my own eyesLookin’ out, it feels like a dream
Please, stay right here
Your lips, your blush, your eyes, your touchBaby, you are really something else
‘Cause I don’t think I have smiled like this before
When I spend my time with you it tends to stop
Honey, being around you is all I need
Baby -
Did you hear the distant cry
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once againI nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it’s taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Let’s try to sleep nowDrag me far enough to know
I’m blind every mile that you burn
There’s a rider that’s fallen and
It’s clear there’s no time to returnI nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it’s taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let’s try to sleep nowDid you hear the distant lie
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once againI nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it’s taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let’s try to sleep now
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
Oh yeah, nearly lost you there -
You are as perfect as all the seven days of creation, god must have loved it
Salt leaves and door screens, blood bed and night screams
I’ll be your safety, if you’ll be my safety
But soon I will try to fly out and leave you
But please don’t believe me, tie weights to my feetI don’t wanna tell you now
I don’t wanna tell you how I know
I don’t wanna break you down
I don’t know if I can take the load of our loveI’m too pop for the basement scene of sludge and drop jaw
But I can’t fit see, I’m faceless but I’m not your dream team
But I fit right in between your legs and your that will hold me, your arms will enfold meI don’t wanna tell you now
I don’t wanna tell you how I know
I don’t wanna break you down
I don’t know if I can take the load of our love -
I never understood before.
I never knew what love was for.
My heart was broke, my head was sore –
What a feeling.Tied up in ancient history,
I didn’t believe in destiny.
I look up, you’re standing next to me –
What a feeling.What a feeling in my soul –
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine;
And it’s brighter than sunshine.I never saw it happening.
I’d given up and given in.
I just couldn’t take the hurt again –
What a feeling.I didn’t have the strength to fight.
Suddenly, you seemed so right.
Me and you –
What a feeling.What a feeling in my soul –
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It’s brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.And it’s brighter than the sun.
It’s brighter than the sun.
It’s brighter than the sun, sunshine.Love will remain a mystery,
But give me your hand, and you will see.
Your heart is keeping time with me.What a feeling in my soul –
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It’s brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
It’s brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don’t care.
I’m yours, and suddenly you’re mine.
Suddenly, you’re mine.
And it’s brighter than sunshine. -
Billy-Ray was a preacher’s son
And when his daddy would visit he’d come along
When they gathered round and started talkin’
That’s when Billy would take me walkin’
A-through the backyard we’d go walkin’
Then he’d look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surpriseThe only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he wasBeing good isn’t always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin’ to me
He’d come and tell me everything is all right
He’d kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
(Ooh…) Lord knows he was
Yes he wasHow well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin’ kisses from me on the sly
Takin’ time to make time
Tellin’ me that he’s all mine
Learnin’ from each other’s knowing
Lookin’ to see how much we’ve grownAnd the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he wasThe only one who could ever reach me
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
I kissed the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
The sweet-lovin’ son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Ahh, ooh, ahh….
