A Night on the Town Lyrics by The Dear Hunter

Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise

2015

[Verse 1]
I've been misplaced in so many ways
Broken battlegrounds, hiding veils of delicate deceit
Yet here I breathe
Teeth still gleam from holy water
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
And voices sing
[Pre-Chorus]
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
All because we never had written a word"
[Chorus]
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
[Verse 2]
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?
Sentimental or just confusing?
We lost what we had, but we took it back
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand
[Chorus]
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
[Bridge]
I'm not who you think I am
And even if I thought you'd known
I never would have told you so
And more alarming
I would have done the very same
Would have stole more than your name
Would have cursed and brought the world on your shoulders
I was in the wrong place at the right time
[Verse 3]
And what's the worst I'd see
By giving myself to the earth below me
Not knowing how far I'd fall, by casting away the ordinary
Just how long can I stay in illusions formed here long before me?
And how long can I breathe this stolen breath here underneath?
[Outro]
There's that subtle smile that did me in
She moves
An agony reminds where I've been
She breathes
"I'd never let this happen again."
Where's your heart?
Mimicking the patriarch
She's naïve (blissfully)
[Instrumental Outro]
