I keep my head up tight
I know my plans at night
And I don’t sleep I don’t sleep I don’t sleep ’til it’s light
Some folks float some are buried alive
There is an awful sound
This haunted town
It will not it will not it will not just be quiet
Some ghosts sink some will get called to the light

I spend boring hours in the office tower
In a bus on a bus back home to you and
That’s fine I’m barely alive
It’s just a matter of time
No one gets out alive
And I’m content, I’m content, I’m content to be quiet
Some will sink some will get called to the light

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time they’re waiting for something that’ll never arrive
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time they’re waiting for something that’ll never arrive

I keep my head up tight
I make my plans at night
And I don’t sleep I don’t sleep I don’t sleep ’til it’s light
Some folks float and some are buried alive
With our little boots, we built another world
Gonna chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain to the light
That’s fine our blood is alive

You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
You know our hearts beat time they’re waiting for something that’ll never arrive
