I know this world is vicious, darling, let's make tracks now.
We'll black out all the city lights and drink 'til we both grow numb
And lay down to sleep; I feel like I ran all day.
And maybe everything will stop for one night at last
Your eyes are looking bright, girl, like fireflies caught in a glass
You scrub up pretty well all dressed in your finery.

And how will they speak of us when the night is gone?
The incessant whisper in your ear that haunted you too long.
How you shivered as the wind shook through the alleyways
And box cars so let's dance
And we, like spectres, drifting in to the dark
Oh I know a place were we can go.

I know this world is vicious, darling, let's make tracks now.
We'll burn every history book and start our lives here. Drink up,
Forget all about, the loss that a life time brought our way
To end the violence, and a petitious war.
For every crooked politician there's a thousand more.
Drink up; forget all about the loss that a life time brought our way

And all at once my eyes were wide
And love filled my world with light.
Oh, love filled my world with light.
Can you see me?

I know this world is vicious, darling, let's make tracks now.
We'll black out all the city lights and drink 'til we both grow numb
And lay down to sleep; I feel like I ran all day.
