Division St.

Lights out on Division Street
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 Street
I'm repeating
Goodbye to the memories
(The fever that will not break)
The night's pouring down
It's not enough to put this out
I'll burn up before I wake up
(On Division Street)

This is serious
This is serious
If this is serious
I'll hide my heart in dark parades

Lights out on Division Street
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)
La la la la la la la, listen to yourself
Go on and on, as if you spoke to someone else

Lights out on Division Street
I'm repeating
Goodbye to the memories
(The fever that will not break)
The night's pouring down
Its not enough to put this out
I'll burn up before I wake up
(On Division Street)

This is serious
This is serious
If this is serious
I'll hide my heart in dark parades
Dance between the scissor's 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 trees
A silent army marching with me through a swarm of bees
A needle dragged across a record slowing down
Along Division Street 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 Street
Repeating (I'm repeating)
Lights out on Division Street
Repeating (turn the windows black)
Lights out, lights out, lights out
Turn the windows black
La la la la la la la
Listen to yourself (turn the windows black)
