lyrics

Tuesday night is alive,
Treading “glory-be”
From the golden ticket booth
To the toll road
Something’s growing in the air,
On top of tired slang,
And this wasteland sings with
Little integrity
Hustle follows the weight of the bodies,
Whoa-o,
With arms and legs swinging for the shore,
Whoa-o
To be something more,
To feel something more,
Than this trouble
But it’s got us cornered now

I dream in color, Technicolor
I dream in color, watercolor
I dream in color, every color
And God, I pray, don’t let me wake
Don’t let me spend another moment
In this fucking place

Touch me as I sit
On the ledge of a cathedral
That we shouldn't even think about
Touching at all
Bust every painted window out
And pray to God
That he gets his wake-up call
Walk the streets in silence after dark,
Whoa-o,
Hold hands with ghosts
And dance underneath the stars,
Whoa-o
Oh, how I tried to surrender up my heart
To more this just this trouble but it’s got me cornered still

I dream in color, Technicolor
I dream in color, watercolor
I dream in color, every color
And God, I pray, don’t let me wake
And God, I pray, don’t let me see the light of day
God I pray-ay-ay-ay
Don’t let me spend another moment in this place

This is what I left you for
Not for a bed and not for the silence
Not for the hardwood floors
Not for a connection or to make a good impression
Not so I can settle the score
Or be another dying breed in a big city
But for a disconnection of the good in me
For a disconnection, well

I dream in color, Technicolor,
I dream in color, watercolor
I dream in color, every color…

I will ship you fingernails bitten off then bottled
To let you know that I am still alive
