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 the muzzle, oh
Like moths that get confused by all the man-made moves
So go gently in this dark, dark night

When something's wrong you know and it just ain't right
And you dance like sparks from the muzzle, oh
And you fall like sparks from the muzzle, hey

Welcome for the day or stay forever
There's things which we all need to navigate
Daisy chains of lights around the city now
You glow but never quite illuminate

Hell [Incomprehensible] water, won't stop us now
The future's twisted, righteousness is coming back around

Oh, we fall like sparks from the muzzle, oh
Unless two thousand seven
Becomes a pitch black heaven
Oh, stop acting like you're my best friend

When you don't know why
And you don't care how it ends
And you dance like sparks from the muzzle, oh
And you fall like sparks from the muzzle, hey

Welcome for the day or stay forever
There's things which we all need to navigate
Daisy chains of lights around the city now
And they glow but never quite illuminate

So dance like sparks from the muzzle
So dance like sparks from the muzzle, hey
Oh, oh

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
And we filled our florescent sails
It led to sodium-scarred wailing weeks

Hey, now, now
Oh, the future's bright
Oh, hey, now, now
A history of light

Repeat now, now
Because you know it's right
Oh, hey, now, now
A history of light

Repeat now, now
Oh, the future's bright
Oh, hey, now, now
A history of light

Hey, now, now
Because you know it's right
Oh, hey, now, now
A history of light

You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's right
You know it's
