Dead Faces

[Verse 1]

And we have fun we go laughing and running down to the water there by the sea

Where the body just floats like a rowboat and the moon's like a harbor light lit in the sky

And this picture's got a woman who looks like you and a guy who looks just like someone I've seen

When it turns out, I hope that it turns out, I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed

[Verse 2]

Embarcadero train station's empty and I just cannot believe how long it takes

All the way home through the city everyone's looking at least, it's nice to believe everyone's looking

This picture's got a woman who looks like you and a guy who looks just like someone I've seen

When it turns out, I hope that it turns out, I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed

[Bridge]

Ghostly faces at my living room window they are not scared of me cause they know I can't hurt them

They press up and see, in the lamp glow, all of the hurt and the love inside of me

[Verse 4]

It's their final duty

To see right through me

Twelve hours 'til the dawn

But we've got to hold on

Hold on to me, cause then we'll keep running

[Outro]

Down to the water this morning, well nobody waits for you to believe

In ghosts lit by moonlight or dawning, or in this picture of you and me
