Song Lyrics

I keep my head on tight, I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive

There is an awful sound, this haunted town
It will not, it will not, it will not just be quiet
Some ghosts sink, some will get called to the light

I spend boring hours in the office tower
In a bus, on a bus back home to you
And that's fine, I'm barely alive

It's just a matter of time, no one gets out alive
And I'm content, I'm content, I'm content to be quiet
Some will sink, some will get called to the light

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive

I keep my head on tight, I make my plans at night
And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light
Some folks float, some are buried alive

With our little boots, we built another world
Where we're chain, chain, chain, chain, chained to the light
That's fine, our blood is alive

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
