Tonight Only the Dead - Victorian Halls

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

Take me if you want me you’re allowed

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

It all came easy it seemed.

We never get what we need: Sunsets and liquor

fights, your Cadillac driving through the summer night.

Blurry and blue eyed in

the starlight, you were faking when I came and all these things worth giving up,

burn it in your spine you were one of us.

I know the wind blows cold and every

city looks like your own, you said, «See I have this plan, leave and love every

town with a gun in my hand.»

So I put the record on as your hand feathers along.

Your first was rock n roll, but my champagne heart needs a little soul

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

Take me if you want me you’re allowed

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

So take me if you want me we came here alone

Or set me up in fire we came here alone, I came here alone

Bloody knuckles on concrete right?

In the sand where we come to life.

Connects right on to our bones.

You’re too high as we stumble home.

Give up give in for the kicks;

touch me this is where we begin and end and end

and end and end

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

Take me if you want me you’re allowed

Tonight only the dead are safe and sound

So take me if you want me we came here alone

Or set me up in fire we came here alone, I came here alone

I know the ocean is cold and everywhere you been there before

If you would just face the facts, death’s waiting for you and the deck is

stacked

But she puts those Ray-Bans on, just like the night we will settle at dawn

‘Till then live to let go the starlight will guide us home
