Before They Excavate Lyrics by Lanterns On The Lake

Spook The Herd

2020

[Verse 1]
Let's break in to our old school
And let's race through the hallways
And jump on the desks
Your small talk is just about killing me here
It's hard time, we both started living
[Verse 2]
Let's gate-crash the palace and reclaim what's ours
Let's replace the billboards with beautiful art
Let's take out every streetlight in London tonight
And soak up the beating wound
[Refrain]
Dive in, we're losing light
It's been a strange year
And a funny old night
Some day, they'll liberate
Our bones from the soil
And say, "Here was life"
[Verse 3]
The waters are rising, our leaders are unhinged
Let's break out the good stuff and toast to the end
This whole city could be underwater by June
So don't mind me if I do
[Refrain]
Dive in, we're losing light
It's been a strange year
And a funny old night
Some day, they'll liberate
Our bones from the soil
Say, "Here was life"
[Verse 4]
Someday, they'll carbon date this whole sorry mess we made
The hour is late, they're closing in
It's hard time that we begin
[Outro]
This whole planet could go up in flames tonight
And your small talk is just about killing me here
