Intro:
Eyes, Wait, Go, Lights, Don't, Haunt, Through
The Night
Verse 1:
Everybody's coming to be shown
We see it in their eyes
Just like that feeling when you run
We see it every time
Come close, find someone that you know
We all enjoy the pain
This spark is burning up the firehouse again, again
No Lie, Lie, Lie...
Chorus:
When you see it do you overload?
Do you feel like you should close your eyes?
Everybody to the great unknown
Feet first, jumping the front of the line
When you see it do you overload?
Do you feel like you should bide your time?
Every minute is an episode
A-typical, dramatic end to the night
Verse 2:
Everybody is waiting on the rain
We see it in their eyes
Held down and high above the fold
We see it every time
Come close, find anyone you can
We all enjoy the pain
This spark will burn right down the fucking house again, again
Chorus:
When you see it do you overload?
Do you feel like you should close your eyes?
Everybody to the great unknown
Feet first, jumping the front of the line
When you see it do you overload?
Do you feel like you should bide your time?
Every minute is an episode
A-typical, dramatic end to the night
Interlude:
Chorus:
When you see it do you overload?
Do you feel like you should close your eyes?
Everybody to the great unknown
Feet first, jumping the front of the line
When you see it do you overload?
Do you feel like you should bide your time?
Every minute is an episode
A-typical, dramatic end to the night
Lights, Don't, Haunt, Through, The Night

Hallowing a fallen angel to bury the symphony
Bright lights and broken stables
Odd hours at the factory
They never even knew my name
Waiting for the victory
Follow on, the stars are blurry
They move throughout the sky
Machinery and crooked crosses
The children believe the lie
I never even caught your name
You never even had the time
Anyone, why can’t you hear it
A augmentedA voice that’s out of range
Messengers and lost magicians
Engage the tidal waves
You never even knew my name
Crying at the rivalry
Waiting for a bit of shame
Unplug us from the battery
Artillery
The words are like a death tonight
They’ll serve you well

My oh my, the coast is never that clear
Hate them rocks and stones, quit throwing them here
Shut that door, the locust is coming inside
Get out them boots and walk off that miracle mile
I’m a smooth operator
I’m a loose elevator
Watch me as I break the television
Talk me off the ledge, I can’t envision
Take me to the hole to throw a wish in
I am on my way, unstoppable
Lock the doors and warn the federation
Bright and bold, here comes the revolution
My oh my, the king is on a mission
I am on my way, unstoppable
Pure in heart, a king infallible
Great big fucking time
So powerful, I
My oh my, a kiss inside of my ear
Or, a cool clean fist to punch out the holiday cheer
Stop everyone, stop everyone coming inside
Watch out, this is the first time I’m feeling alive
I’m a smooth operator
I’m a loose elevator
I’m a smooth operator
I’m a loose elevator
Watch me as I break the television
Talk me off the ledge, I can’t envision
Take me to the hole to throw a wish in
I am on my way, unstoppable
Lock the doors and warn the federation
Bright and bold, here comes the revolution
My oh my, the king is on a mission
I am on my way, unstoppable
Pure in heart, a king infallible
Great big fucking time
So powerful, I

Verse 1:
Eighteen and a wicker basket
Red cape and an open casket
Tied up to a broken lever
If I move, it hurts forever
I am not that host
But I want her
Wolf in a winter playground
White snow to let the red out
I hear that alarms are better
Than a warning, like a feather
I don't like my tone
But I want her
Chorus:
So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around
Verse 2:
Why sleep I can't forget it
Moonrise I'm now committed
Your move cause I am tethered
Like a slave, I don't know better
I listen for your words
Yeah I want her
Lost boys in a haunted forest
Bright things in the maze before us
My life has now been severed
I can't bare to remember who I was before
The day I met her
Chorus:
So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around
Guitar Solo:
Chorus:
So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around
So here I am
I'm falling to my knees
I'm digging at the shadows of a ghost
When you come around
So here I am
I'm waiting for the tease
I'm sleeping in the gallows that I chose
When you come around
