Tonight Only The Dead Victorian Halls 

"Tonight Only The Dead"
The tide turned easy it seemed, and pulled the world from my feet. I got some dollars though, burned the house, and took the gold. It was always women first until the second verse, well you see I had this plan, drive out west with my calendar lass. I know the ocean is cold and everywhere you been there before, and if you would just face the facts, death’s waiting for you and the deck is stacked. She puts those Ray-Bans on, bumps in the car to the radio song, concrete thoughts now a powdered dust to settle like the sun I can feel it come down

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound
Tonight only the dead are safe and sound
Take me if you want me you’re allowed
Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

It all came easy it seemed. We never get what we need: Sunsets and liquor fights, your Cadillac driving through the summer night. Blurry and blue eyed in the starlight, you were faking when I came and all these things worth giving up, burn it in your spine you were one of us. I know the wind blows cold and every city looks like your own, you said, “See I have this plan, leave and love every town with a gun in my hand.” So I put the record on as your hand feathers along. Your first was rock n roll, but my champagne heart needs a little soul

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound
Tonight only the dead are safe and sound
Take me if you want me you’re allowed
Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

So take me if you want me we came here alone
Or set me up in fire we came here alone, I came here alone

Bloody knuckles on concrete right? In the sand where we come to life. Connects right on to our bones. You’re too high as we stumble home. Give up give in for the kicks; touch me this is where we begin and end and end and end and end

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound
Tonight only the dead are safe and sound
Take me if you want me you’re allowed
Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

So take me if you want me we came here alone
Or set me up in fire we came here alone, I came here alone

I know the ocean is cold and everywhere you been there before
If you would just face the facts, death’s waiting for you and the deck is stacked
But she puts those Ray-Bans on, just like the night we will settle at dawn
‘Till then live to let go the starlight will guide us home
