[Verse 1]
The night s a spill, a permanent stain; the city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
A blue glow from the tv again, the curtains never open, faces never show
And every time a light is turned on there s a light that s turned off somewhere
For every moment that s lost there s a perfect cost, there s a debt you can t share
Clocks stopped at the corner of Albert will show your last bus left an hour ago
so stumble down the stairs again, pretend you re not too proud
to understand and still know when your voice cuts through the crowd
that lonely people talk too loud
[Verse 2]
The night s a spill, a permanent stain; the city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
A blue glow from the tv again, the curtains never open, faces never show
And every night they play the same song to the same offbeat believers
And everyone is singing along wearing blueblack eyes, wearing dead men s neck-ties
Clocks stopped at the corner of Albert will show your last bus left an hour ago
so stumble down the stairs again, pretend you re not too proud
to understand and still know when your voice cuts through the crowd
that lonely people talk too loud
[Bridge]
Numbers on a washroom stall
There s always more then one last call calling you
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
