The Night Believer

Outside

I wanna peel off some lace tonight

And then I thought

That I got you

Like a careful capture

Your hug becomes a straitjacket now

Shook-up about it

You bring the night-believer

The wrong key

Always

Hollywood, this is my only thing

Are you still on their good side?

We saw you in colourful night clubs

Darling, well you could have warned us

That this would be your winning streak

Outside

And it occurs to me, we’ve lost the light

We shared a box in someones dream

‘Till the ponies arrive

We’re only wasting time

Which I know, I know something about

Shook-up about it

You bring the night-believer

The wrong key

Torn up without it

Nocturnal in-betweener

You walk free

So similar to your familiar

You whisper

Hollywood, this is my only thing

Are you still on their good side?

We missed you

I’m sure there’ll be re-runs

Darling, look at you in fine fur

How could you believe

That this would be your chance?

And I know you wanna make it

Yeah

And I know you’d never fake it

Outside

Set it up, the wolf I found

Lips say what to do

Wash your hands in the wishing well

Can you remember at all?

I would still know

Passing time with friends

I know they will never come back again

We don’t need a plan

Hours to go
