waiting for nothing

One last sweep of this city street
Our whispers will sing lullabies
In the ears of our enemies
No turning back tonight

And our shadows will dance in the hate of our memory
Hot water now, hold your tongue
but talk to what strangers you want to

Working so hard at waiting for nothing
And someday it may come
But for now,
I'm not your accomplice, I'll wait here till morning comes

One chance for us to get things right
Breaking inside
Say what it is that you need to say
A six-hour standoff in silence we're waiting
For the charge signals to rise
Because tonight
You and I call the shots

You're working so hard at waiting for nothing
And someday it may come
For now,
I'm not your accomplice, I'll wait here till morning

Working so hard, waiting for nothing
And someday it may come
So what, so what
I'm not your accomplice, I'll wait here till morning comes

One night, eyes on each other
Wrong story,
Once upon a time
And we lie and we'll lie
Side by silence
One piece gone from this puzzle
A hard tide is breaking on this night
We lie, eyes on the target
Side by silence

You're working so hard, waiting for nothing
and someday it may come
but for now,
I'm not your accomplice, I'll wait here till morning

Working so hard, waiting for nothing
and someday it may come
So what, so what
I'm not your accomplice, I'll wait here till morning comes
