Ice has formed and there's snow between the tracks And I have seen the surface tear and I can't look back And cool low sun has blinded you for days From
We fall through water unsung, unseen And days thought endless Lose more, light and heat So let the dead bury the dead I should leave For I am For I am
Welcome to the second reel Glad that you can make it We thought your fate was sealed It's not what we expected But you punch above your weight And you
Somebody wake me up The dream is growing cold And the night is all we have Left to hold Somebody sail this ship Navigate this crowd For what I once saw
I feed on fire and confusion Of this crime I?ll rid my soul Gonna slide on down to the river Gonna tell her all So I told my troubles to the river And

When I walk through the bone yard with you I think I?m walking hand in hand with my own ghost. I?ve been many things, played a fool to catch a king And
Fireworks through the trees City turns away from me My hand raised to say Goodbye, goodbye my love Wheels roll to the light Sleep kills fevered night

A summer of John Wayne Getting older Reel after reel And playing old soldiers With old wounds You know how that feels And a summer of searching The underworld
It?s the best winter I remember It?s the best winter I remember Chasing through the cold December nights One foot on the sidewalk, one foot in the sky
Daylight splits the room You sleep while I watch you How the light shines on you now Breathless, I?m playing tricks But you rise to my fingertips. How
Look here comes Houdini Handcuffed, blind, and bound Here comes a girl now Slips a key into his mouth He says I?ve been under the water I?ve been under
So baby there you stand The bottle in your hand Shouting to the night While the city sleeps Caught in the light of a car While a subway station sparks
