In a Black Out

I live in a nameless town

No need to wander around

I live in a nameless town

In a black out

Many friends have said Goodbye

Paraded out in one proud line

I say they all just lost their minds

Midnight where we used to dance

Underneath the ugly halogen lamps

Oh it all went away so fast

In a black out

We’ll wait for the year

When the tide come rolling over the rails

From here till the end of this island

Washing away

I rent a room with all our stuff

When you come home I’d lift you up

And there’s only the two of us

In a black out

Now you’re sleeping in the back

Of a speeding yellow cab

Throw a kiss goodbye to all of that
