CHORUS
dark sun

setting on the town tonight

tell me it'll be alright

roll me in the waves so bright

purple threads weaving through the clouds

slow ache moaning through the ground

counting all the stars in my eyes

till they fade away

can't grow a tree of fire

and forget about the roots of ash

can't build a new messiah 

and expect us not to worship at the critical mass

can't squeeze blood from a stone

but you can squeeze fire from metal

strip the hex for what you need

we got heavy water on the kettle

​

CHORUS

​

if we cannot reach the stars

we'll grow the here on earth

and leave them here to rot

if we do not want to stop

we'd better go ahead and take it to the end 

​

well, i been scraping shadows off the sidewalk

lord knows they'll go to keep my hidden

anywhere that i want

hey doctor, doctor i cant speak for to tell

how i saw those girls drowning in their wishing wells 

but now i see the city's sunrise in the night

that dark sun looming just right

but still you tell me that i best stay calm

oh yea, i'd better run along

there's nothing but wrong with every right hand gone 

​

CHORUS
