Bright Eyes - Train Underwater lyrics

you were born inside of a raindrop

and i watched you falling to your death

and the sun well she could not save you

she had fallen down too

now the streets are wet

a body of water, toxic and timeless

atlantic ocean, new york skyline

i always get lost when i leave the village

so i couldn't come meet you

in brooklyn last night

but i sing glory from a low-rise

and i will say peace to the people i meet

while the world waits for an explosion

that instant of light that wipes the slate clean

so don't be fooled, no don't get lied to

love was always cruel

and don't act strange, don't be a stranger

it happeend to me, now it's happening to you

but if you take that train underwater

then we could talk it through

well if i could take all of my desires

wait out the weather that howls in my brain

because it seems that it's always changing

the winds indecision, the sorrowful rain

yeah i was a postcard, i was a record

i was a camera until i went blind

and now i am riding all over this island

looking for something to open my eye

but i still sing glory from a high rise

and i will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks

while the world waits for an explosion

that moment in time we will be set free

so don't stay mad just let some time pass

and im the morning you'll wake feeling new

and if i don't come back, i mean if i get sidetracked

it's only because i wanted to

i'm keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue
