British Sea Power – Lights Out For Darker Skies lyrics

Oh lights out baby, for darker skies.
There really is no reason that you need to ask why.

When you fall like sparks from a muzzle,
Like moths we get confused, by all the man-made moons,
So go gentle in this dark, dark night.
When something's wrong you know it's just not right.
And we dance like sparks from a muzzle.
And we fall like sparks from a muzzle, hey!

Welcome for a day or stay forever,
There's things which we all need to navigate.
Daisy chains of light surround the city now.
They glow but never quite illuminate.

Hell and high water, won't stop us now.
The future is twisted righteousness is coming back around.
And we fall like sparks from a muzzle.

Unless 2007 becomes a pitch black heaven,
Stop acting like you're my best friend.
When you don't know why and you don't know how it ends.
And we dance like sparks from a muzzle.
And we fall like sparks from a muzzle, hey!

Welcome for a day or stay forever,
There's things which we all need to navigate.
Daisy chains of light surround the city now.
They glow but never quite illuminate.

So dance like sparks from a muzzle,
So dance like sparks from a muzzle.

And we were lit by kerosene.
And we were lit by acetylene.
And we walked under neon skies.

You know it made me wonder why.
Why all the frequencies combine.
And form a cleaner, brighter light.
We'll fill our fluorescent sails.
It led to sodium-scarred wailing weeks.

Hey now, now.
Oh the future's bright.
Hey now, now.
A history of light repeat
Now now.
Because you know it's right.
Hey now, now.
A history of light repeat
Hey now, now.
Oh the future's bright.
Hey now, now.
A history of light repeat
Now now.
Because you know it's right
Hey now, now.
A history of light repeat
Now now, now
You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's right
