Songtext von The World Is Lit By Lightning

so maybe you're standing in some foreign town you've walked for miles till the heat slows you down and your jeans and your curls are bleached and split and your money and your anger are all used up maybe i'm sorry about the light in this place makes my heart seem cold as the words on these pages maybe i'm reminded by a shop window display or a decoration like some church candle that might just burn 'cause we're dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning that i keep telling you that i love you so you're ten miles out of this city at night when do coloured lights become paint and glass and dust and how i wonder what light to trust the light of the distance or the candle that might just burn 'cause we're dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning that i keep telling you that i love you seraphim and cherubim skies full of gold dust moonshine and starlight pockets full of rainbows windows and mirrored balls porcelain and silverlake dance hall neons flash and swing blow out your candles it will call you angel angel angel when the world knows your name dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning that i keep telling you that i love you i love you i love you 'cause we're dancing under chandeliers and i'm telling you caught in the headlights and i'm yelling it at you why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning that i keep telling you that i love you
