Testo Idlewild Travis

Idlewild

It was upon row of houses
Tight skirts and baggy trousers
Green men and cheap diguises

High hopes and higher rises
Who lived a girl who was on a mission
Who lived a boy who was under suspicion
Tried hard to stay beside her
Until the devil put his seed inside her
How?
You know how
(Speak?) to love and the sand runs out
So close to midnight
Time to fly
Do or die
(Stung?) in the headlights
Here we lie
High and dry
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
Say goodnight
Kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild
For two years he tried to reach her
Worshipped the ground beneathe her
She, she was always running
He, he saw the end was coming
But now the story takes a turn
She wakes up and her sheets are burning
Head down against the fire
Now, now, now the table turns
She won't learn
Sleep to love and your bed starts burning
So close to midnight
Idlewild you don't know
You never need to
Here we lie, high and dry
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
Say goodnight
Kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild
Idlewild
I thought that we were good together
I thought that we could weather the weather
Whether or not that wise is the word for us
That high hopes are only there because, because
Because I thought the only thing between us
Was something shallow not a river so deep (we see us?)
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
Lay it on the banks to rot and fester
Now it's (scarlet and?) hanging like a death star
And Gretna Green (dark?) and (Manchester?)
I don't want to hear it now
Here we lie, high and dry
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
Say goodnight, kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild
Idlewild
Kill the light
Idlewild...
