When the Sun goes down That they've turned around Comes a hankering Keeps them shaking in their knees Big umbrella eyes Watching for the storm They can't disguise What they're longing for Hunting for the bone Make-believing home In the alleyway There's an open door Where the sleepers stay Keeping everyone at bay They've crystallized, losing track of time They're aching for, a way to close the door Hunting for the bone, make-believing home They'll learn to live alone Special guarantee, safe for the moment So gracefully, hysterically free Now they're running fast, with the goods in hand Grinning carefully, think they understand Sifting through the mud, running through the rain They won't die out, too hungry and insane Hunting for the bone, make-believing home They'll learn to live alone Special guarantee, safe for the moment So gracefully, hysterically free Safe for the moment so gracefully And I can barely breathe, drowning a space That will never fill, the flood is in my dreams And I can barely breathe, safe for the moment So gracefully, hysterically free
