Sleeping City
Parlour Steps

On our backs we made a promise,
Find an ocean deep enough, deep enough to sink us.
Our fate, tired promise to me,
Find a love deep enough, deep enough to scare us.
You say you want to be a better you and
I say I want to be a better me
And quit chasing ghosts,
No more mirrors and smoke,
just you and me in a sleeping city.
All my life, I have wrestled with words,
Insufficient and remote and absurd.
You say I won’t need those words,
Where we’re going I won’t fight to be heard.
You say you want to be a better you and
I say I want to be a better me
And quit chasing ghosts, no more mirrors and smoke,
Just you and me in a sleeping city.
Where we go, where we go, oh clothes are not needed.
Where we go, where we go cell phones are not needed.
Where we go, where we go our money’s not needed.
Where we go, where we go email is not needed.

Ah oh ah oh ah

Lyrics by Parlour Steps

  A Blazing Light   A Pagan and a Cook   Bleeding Hearts   City You'd Eventually Move To   Gargoyle's Passion   Haunt the Park   Hot Romance   Little Pieces   Only Mystery   The Garden   There but for the Grace...   Thieves of Memory   What the Lonely Say   World As Large
