lyrics

i knew the sun before it came and reigned
over everyone
but i put it out
i put it out for you

you won't get far
the streetlights shine like dear dead stars
over a hollow foreign city
quiet as a grave

i'm singing
oh where did you go
oh where did you go
oh where did you go

i've been quiet a lot these days
it's getting harder to talk to a man
who might have something to say
and you can probably tell
this city's my home
it's been been my personal hell
for you

i'm singing
oh where you go
oh where did you go
oh where did you go

when i see you grit your teeth
i know you're lying
when i see you with that smile
i know you're a fraud
you're just a fraud

all i drink is gasoline
all you loved is dead in me
everything i kill i eat
and you're looking pretty good to me

i know i'm sick but it's a living
you know you didn't bring me up to act this way
you didn't set me straight to be a nobody
nobody could say take the stage
and don't be afraid

i could call on you as a friend as a lover
but the words all come out fractured and deranged
you could be my sun in the sky
my blinking satellite
turning since the moment we were turned away
