I know this world is vicious darling, let's make tracks 
Now we'll black out all the city lights and drink 'til we both grow numb 
And lay down to sleep, I feel like I ran all day 
Then maybe everything will stop for one night at last 
Your eyes are looking bright girl, like fireflies caught in a glass 
You [bad word] up pretty well, all dressed in your finery 
And how will they speak of us when the night is gone? 
The incessant whisper in your ear that haunted you too long 
How you shivered, as the wind shook through the alleyways 
And boxcars so let's dance, we like spectres drifting into the dark 
Oh I know a place we can go 
I know this world is vicious darling, let's make tracks 
Now we'll burn up every history book and start our lives here 
Drink up, forget all about the loss that a lifetime brought our way 
End the violence and our fictitious war 
For every crooked politician there's a thousand more 
Drink up, forget all about the loss that a lifetime brought our way 
And all at once my eyes were wide, love 
Filled my world with light, oh love 
Filled my world with light 
Can you see me? 
Can you see me? 
Can you see me? 
Can you see me? 
I know this world is vicious darling, let's make tracks 
Now we'll black out all the city lights and drink 'til we both grow numb 
Then lay down to sleep, I feel like I ran all day
