Idlewild Lyrics

It was upon row of houses, tight skirts and baggy trousers
Grey men and cheap disguises, high hopes and higher rises
Who lived a girl who was on a mission
Who lived a boy who was under suspicion
Tried hard to stay beside her
Until the devil put his seed inside her
How? You know how... Sleep to love and the sand runs out
So close to midnight
Time to fly, Do or die, stung in the headlights
horus
Here we lie, high and dry
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
Say goodnight, kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild
For two years he tried to reach her
Worshiped the ground beneath her
She, she was always running... He, he saw the end was coming
But now the story takes a turn
She wakes up and her sheets are burning
Head down against the fire... Now, now, now the table turns
She won't learn, sleep to love and your bed starts burning
So close to midnight
Idlewild you don't know if you never need to
horus
Here we lie, high and dry
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
Say goodnight, kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild... Idlewild
I thought that we were good together
I thought that we could weather the weather
Whether or not the wise the wherefores
That high hopes are only there because, because
Because I thought the only thing between us
Was something shallow not a river so deep as sea is
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
Lay it on the banks to rot and fester
Now a skeleton is like a death star
And Gretna Green and Derby, Manchester
I don't want to hear it now
horus
Here we lie, High and dry
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
Say goodnight, kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild... Idlewild
Kill the light, Idlewild...
