Lyrics

The Looming

I'll never grow old in a graveyard
In a graveyard
Do any little thing that's not too hard
That's not too hard

The devastation's looming like Jesus
Just like Jesus
What's it gonna take to believe us?
To believe us?

Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight dreamer
Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight dreamer
Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight dreamer
Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight

I've stood on the backstreet
Of this wonderful town
Separate futures
In this wonderful town

When i get older
None of this will be around
When i get older
I won't see you around

I won't see you around
I won't see you around
I won't see you around
I won't see you around

Let's take it over
Let's take it over

Something to live for
Something to live for

They can't control you
They can't control you

Fuck what they told you
Fuck what they told you

Let's take it over
Let's take it over

Something to live for
Something to live for

They can't control you
They can't control you

Fuck what they told you
Fuck what they told you

Let's take it over
Let's take it over
Let's take it over
Let's take it over
Let's take it over
Let's take it over

Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight dreamer
Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight dreamer
Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight dreamer
Good night, sweet heart
Sleep tight

I'll never grow old in a graveyard
In a graveyard
Do any little thing that's not too hard
That's not too hard

The devastation's looming like Jesus
Just like Jesus
What's it gonna take to believe us?
To believe us?
