Looking the Wrong Way Down a Telescope Lyrics by The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light

2017

[Hook: Mike Skinner]
Looking the wrong way down a telescope
Looks like a long way down to where I'm going
[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Sum up, the songbirds sound like they are hopeful
Although there's a cloud and a cloak on the mountain slope
Black as the black of all the clothes I own
Black as the ashes of a city sects
The journey wasn't as easy as I've known
But were I able, you know I journey home
Sitting up at a distance from the glitter
The city just looks like piles and piles of bricks
[Hook: Mike Skinner]
Looking the wrong way down a telescope
Looks like a long way down to where I'm going
[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
All my reputation had to go
But as you know I never really missed it
Remember, I remember playing hide-and-seek
Now all I know is how to up-and-run
I've asked myself that question every hour of every week
And it's only answered when I've found some sleep
I've thought I've seen them in a crowd of people
From behind they look so close
[Hook: Mike Skinner]
Looking the wrong way down a telescope
Looks like a long way down to where I'm going
[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
The blood keeps running down when I can dream
My torches never bore of haunting me
Their faces as I tried to explain things
The sun is going down over the town
The wind that started talking about rain
I wish the rain would wash away the blood
[Hook: Mike Skinner]
Looking the wrong way down a telescope
Looks like a long way down to where I'm going
Looking the wrong way down a telescope
Looks like a long way down to where I'm going
