kill the lights

Illuminating York 2011 ♔.

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene.


I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me.


In my scarecrow dreams.


When they smashed my heart into smithereens.


Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete.


Be a cartoon heart.


Light a fire, fire a spark.


Light a fire, a flame in my heart.


We'll run wild.


We'll be glowing in the dark.


We'll be glowing in the dark.


All the boys, all the girls.


All that matters in the world.


All the boys, all the girls.


All the madness that occurs.


All the highs, all the lows.


As the room a-spinning goes.


We'll run riot.


We'll be glowing in the dark.


So we'll soar.


Luminous and wired.


We'll be glowing in the dark.


So on a concrete canvas under cover of dark.


On a concrete canvas, I'll go making my mark.


Armed with the spray can soul.


I'll be armed with the spray can soul.


You stole my soul, or I gave it to you.


I wish I was a spray can.


Where did everybody go ?


Everyone I know has flown the coast, and.


Shiver in the wind it shows.


All I have are summer clothes, and.


Oh it brings me down when it's winter time in a summer town, and.


It's winter time in a summer town, and.


All we are are friends we keep or lose in time.


Fade away, the precious ones we keep in mind.


'Cause after Halloween, everything starts fading.


But lights will guide you home.


And ignite your bones.


Light and dark, a bright spark.


Light and dark.


Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees.


All the flashing, trying to cash in, hurts my eyes.


And then--light.

october

Back to York and my belated October.
Cathedrals and kingdoms and witchery ♔.


Turning the pages.

And I have changed.


Oh but you, you remain ageless.


Cathedrals in my heart.


Coloured stained glass cathedral.


Confines a past that won't let you go.


Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving ?
{I think you and I should stay the same.}


October.


And kingdoms rise.


Timeless is the creature who is wise.


And timeless is the prisoner in disguise.


I would fall in your shadow, I believe.


Streets and bars and a pavement of saints.


I never doubted your beauty; I've changed.


Take me home.


Oh la bête, la bête.


Oh the rogue! The red, red rogue!


The wicked in me is surely the wicked in you.
