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
