Lyrics The Jezabels

The Jezabels

Unmarked Helicopters

Well it was a golden night

Looking like a cowboy

Coping like a teenage dandy boy

Dressing like the Ripper

Eating like an anorexic child

Would you come meet me on the outside?

Yes it was a golden night

Sleeping in the driveway

Making muddy angels cry

Lurking with the street kids

But are you the princess in the well

And the down drinks from your eyes

And you turn to me

Heart that I've found

You've woken from your dreams

And the cats in the bad

But where the cats sleeping

Are women sleeping?

Do you remember

When you slept in this

Golden night

Would you make me a mine

Of the gold you can see

When you close your eyes

And there in the cave

Of a lonely mountain's

Golden shadow

We'll climb like lichen on the sun

To where all our young loves

Would never be drowned out

By the sound

Of the footsteps of giants

Well he's in the mould

And he's got a hold on me

Fits to a tee

He's just too pretty

Ah my arms are bent

To let you in

To keep your limbs

From flying away

Like unmarked helicopters

Like unmarked helicopters

You turn to me

Young heart that I've found

You've woken from your dreams

And the cats in the bag

But where cats are sleeping

Are young people sleeping?

Do you remember

When you slept in this hour?

Ah my arms are bent

To let you in

To keep your limbs

From flying away

From flying away

Like unmarked helicopters

Like unmarked helicopters
