Lights Out For Darker Skies - Sea Power

Oh lights out baby, for darker skies

There really is no reason that you need to ask why

When you fall like sparks from a muzzle

Like moths that get confused

By all the man-made moons

So go gentle in this dark, dark night

When something’s wrong you know

It just ain’t right

And you dance like sparks from a muzzle

And you fall like sparks from a muzzle

Welcome for the day or stay forever

There’s things which we all need to navigate

Daisy chains of lights around the city now

They glow but never quite illuminate

Hell and high water, won’t stop us now

The future’s twisted, righteousness is coming back around

Oh we fall like sparks from a muzzle

Unless two thousand and 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 a muzzle

And you fall like sparks from a muzzle

Welcome for the day or stay forever

There’s things that we all need to navigate

Daisy chains of lights around the city now

They glow but never quite illuminate

So dance like sparks from a muzzle

So dance like sparks from a muzzle

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

Hey now now, oh the future’s bright

Oh hey now now, a history of light repeat now now

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…
