[Verse 1]

           
Come close to 

            
the eye, the d

             
am, I’d only s

   
ee you
           
Here from my s

            
ide of the wat

             
er of my blue 

       
screen blues
           
There’s a path

            
 headed out to

     
 the bright li

ghts
             
And a myriad s

      
uede
            
And no dice fo

            
r the radio si

lence
             
And our pirate

 
 ways


           
And I’m a far 

           
and away now v

agrant
             
And drifted of

           
f course
            
Settled into a

           
 concrete rhyt

hm
           
Be slow in clo

se

           
And in the han

            
ds of a foreig

   
n danger
             
And in the ene

     
my’s fire
           
And as close a

              
s you’ve come 

    
to living
             
In a long, lon

   
g time

         
And I dreamed 

             
the voices the

             
y were calling

        
 out to you
           
Come alive, co

            
me alive, and 

     
the firings
             
Where everythi

      
ng is true


Oh…
        
And everything

    
 is true…

[Verse 2]

             
Sleep now on t

            
he bed that so

           
 feigns my bre

ath
             
Don’t dream of

              
 the days we’v

  
e given up
              
Feelin that su

  
n slip

             
Come and dance

              
 by the armore

  
d soldiers
             
For the menace

    
 of peace
             
Come and stand

              
 by the ghetto

 
 blasters
             
Playing fuck t

      
he police

             
In a way we’re

            
 a lot like st

rangers
             
At the end of 

    
our rope
             
In a way this 

          
lonesome chasm

 is
       
Holding close

             
There’s a fire

              
 in the battin

  
g cages
             
For the rest o

      
f our time
           
Come alive, co

            
me alive, caus

          
e you’ll never

 know
             
When something

    
 is right

         
Avert your eye

              
s, for everyth

             
ing we love is

 
 true
         
Avert your eye

              
s if everythin

            
g we love we l

ose


Oh…

Oh…
        
And everything

    
 is true
        
And everything

    
 to lose

[Bridge]

        
Close your eye

s
        
Not giving out
        
And just enoug

h
        
Oh go to nuts
