[Verse 1]
We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out, hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstable
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Through broken eyes and contact lenses
Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your apocalypse
[Chorus 1]
Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slowburn sunset come along
You've got to stay the night
I got to think that you might
[Verse 2]
We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
Words fell like hailstones bouncing at our feet
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A chance to move out, take a shot
I get cold, you get hot
We look outside, lying awake
See birds breaking surface on a silent lake
We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out, hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstable
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Through broken eyes and contact lenses
Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your apocalypse
[Chorus 1]
Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slowburn sunset come along
You've got to stay the night
I got to think that you might
[Verse 2]
We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
Words fell like hailstones bouncing at our feet
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A chance to move out, take a shot
I get cold, you get hot
We look outside, lying awake
See birds breaking surface on a silent lake
