London Eclipse

[Chorus] Come, the moon is over the sun We’ll use the shadows to run No one can stop us from leaving Come, the moon is over the sun We’ll use the shadows to run No one can stop us from leaving [Verse 1] Breathing’s boring What a stupid task it’s Only 8 a.m. this train’s a moving casket Brew it black and spike your coffee with your flask Before you leave the house each day pull on your 'fuck you' mask You know that sad disguise You know that patch of lies Commuters pull their papers wide so folks can’t catch their eyes We let these years of tears build up and now it’s heavy stakes And we might drown this city if we let these levees break So I gotta get a grip Show ‘em I won’t let it slip I know that what’s done is done and so that’s why it’s dumb to trip I’m not scratching at the walls, that’s London at my fingertips They use the news from yesterday to wrap tomorrow’s fish and chips So you can print me on pretty, colorful paper Right next to the psycho bitch who allegedly stabbed her neighbor And I’ll be looking back up atcha until you’re ready to crumple me up Oh, oh, oh [Chorus] Come, the moon is over the sun We’ll use the shadows to run No one can stop us from leaving Come, the moon is over the sun We’ll use the shadows to run No one can stop us from leaving [Verse 2] At the last eclipse, I was living as a single man My girl’s looking through a pinhole camera That she made out of a Pringle’s can Pointed upwards at a gray London sky, pretending she could see the sun (the sun) And I’m really looking right at her thinking maybe she could be the one We could run New York, L.A., UK, what do you say Got no plans Got no faith Another new sun, gonna bring a new day I wait to queue for the Baker loo, then I take the tube 30 minutes heading to Kent And I’m coming straight to you with a big bouquet We’re not anchored We got our freedom and we can wander any path that we wanna on the planet Damn it we don’t even need a answer And I’m looking at all the 9 to 5ers on the train But all the 9 to 5ers on the train are lookin at your pretty faces Lookin at the sun that only you can see up in the Evening Standard This could be home to me Home could be anywhere We could be anywhere We could be free I’m happy with you If you were somewhere new Do you think you still could be happy with me? Timing is key and our timing was keen And time is as slow and so why should we baby You make me weak in the knees We could move every weekend but only if we can agree to where Home could be anywhere We could be anywhere We could be free I’m happy with you If you were somewhere new Do you think you still could be happy with me? Timing is key and our timing was keen And time is as slow and so why should we baby You make me weak in the knees We could move every weekend but only if we can agree to where [Chorus] Come, the moon is over the sun We’ll use the shadows to run No one can stop us from leaving Come, the moon is over the sun We’ll use the shadows to run No one can stop us from leaving
