Division St (acoustic) Lyrics

lights out on Division St.
and all the hate that rises
through the cracks in the pavement
as the temperature falls
(this is where it hits the ground).
lights out on Division St.
I'm repeating 'goodbye'
to the memories,
(the fever that will not break.)

the night is pouring down,
it's not enought to put this out.
I'll burn up before I wake up
on Division St.

this is serious.
this is serious.
if this is serious I'll hide my heart in dark parades.

lights out on Division St.
I held you tight
like an empty bottle
but the glass broke
and the poison spilled out of your mouth:

"Hello...Hello... Is anybody there?"
The house turned black
and sat in silence
while a mockingbird sang
"lalalalalala listen to yourself
go on and on as if you spoke to someone else..."
lights out on Division St.
I'm repeating 'goodbye'
to the memories,
(the fever that will not break.)

the night is pouring down,
it's not enought to put this out.
I'll burn up before I wake up
on Division St.

this is serious.
this is serious.
if this is serious I'll hide my heart in dark parades.
to dance between the scissors' blades
without getting cut,
I drew an X on your city's name.
lights out.
black out.
blow out the candle again.
spin the room around.
fall down.
pass out.
get up. I can't keep repeating.

between the footsteps I hear crickets in the tress,
a silent army marching with me through a swarm of bees.
a needle dragged across a record, slowing down.
along Division St. the lights were dying out.

endless rows of houses stretched on for miles and miles and miles... turn the windows black.

lights out on Division St.
I'm repeating
lights out on Division St
lights out. turn the windows black.
