Lights out for Darkier Skies

British Sea Power


Oh lights out baby, for darker skies 
There really is no reason that you need to ask why 
When you fall like sparks from a muzzle 

Like moths that get confused 
By all the man-made moons 
So go gentle in this dark, dark night 

When something's wrong you know 
It just ain't right 

And you dance like sparks from a muzzle 
And you fall like sparks from a muzzle 

Welcome for the day or stay forever 
There's things which we all need to navigate 
Daisy chains of lights around the city now 
They glow but never quite illuminate. 

Hell and high water, won't stop us now 
The future's twisted, righteousness is coming back around 

Oh we fall like sparks from a muzzle 

Unless two thousand and seven 
Becomes a pitch black heaven 
Oh stop acting like you're my best friend 

When you don't know why and you don't care how it ends 
And you dance like sparks from a muzzle 
And you fall like sparks from a muzzle 

Welcome for the day or stay forever 
There's things that we all need to navigate 
Daisy chains of lights around the city now 
They glow but never quite illuminate. 

So dance like sparks from a muzzle 
So dance like sparks from a muzzle 

And we were lit by kerosene 
And we were lit by acetylene 
And we walked under neon skies 
You know it made me wonder why 
Why all the frequencies combine 
And form a cleaner, brighter light 
And we filled our florescent sails 
It led to sodium-scarred wailing weeks 

Hey now now, oh the future's bright 
Oh hey now now, a history of light repeat now now 
Because you know it's right 
Oh hey now now, a history of light repeat now now 
Hey now now, oh the future's bright 
Oh hey now now, a history of light repeat now now 
Hey now now, because you know it's right 
Oh hey now now a history of light 
You know it's right 
You know it's right 
You know it's right 
You know it's right 
You know it's...
