Lyrics[]

The street's alive
And we're not alone
Our limbs move like well-oiled gears
And I know we're never going home
There is a dwarf on the corner
With a cup in his hand
A black hat on his big head
He sings a little song and then the sky turns red

And just now
When I catch sight of you
In the burning sun
You strike me as mean-spirited

If they wanna come out
Let the old songs come
The scales can track
And the arpeggiates can run
Once I knew what to say to you but
Now the words will not come through
And I love you underneath the red sky
But for the life of me I couldn't say why

And just now
When I catch sight of you
In the burning sun
You strike me as mean-spirited
