The Big Sleep Lyrics by Pull Tiger Tail

The Lost World

2009

For years we've lived in the dark
Three years of this and not one day of those years wasn't ours
I want to move, we ought to leave when the nightmares start
And the city's closed itself in
So every road now seems to stop where it used to begin
This heart's so tired, it can't keep up with the traffickings
Oh, house by house, and street by street
The lights go out; the city is sleeping
If we move carefully enough
Oh, we can make our escape before she wakes up
She's in a deep enough dream
That I could take us out ten times and nobody would see
Would every time until I'm sure that she's missing me
Oh, house by house, and street by street
The lights go out; the city is sleeping
If we move carefully enough
Oh, we can make our escape before she wakes up
And she thinks that we'll never leave
She thinks that we'll never leave
She thinks that we'll never leave
We could, but we'll never leave
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
Oh, house by house, and street by street
The lights go out; the city is sleeping
If we move carefully enough
We can make our escape before she wakes up
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
You can run but I won't follow (She thinks we'll never leave the city)
