Bats on the Ceiling Lyrics by The Buttertones

American Brunch

2015

See the light
Within the zone

Try and look away
You know what they say
Looking away when it always starts to prey
Oh why, oh why
I'm swimming the tide in my mind, oh c'mon!

Try and look away
But I'm feeling afraid
And I'm looking away
Then I look and see the light

In the zone
They try and lie
And I know why, oh why
I'm swimming the tide in my mind, oh c'mon!

Hey!

I see their eyes in the middle of the night
My [?] how they cry
Oh cry along the ceiling, oh!
Haha!
