Bless the tension[?] of the world outside my window
Feel the beat of the walking wounded as they march
Well rays of jealous light curl dirty fingers
Try to pull me from the womb
Dark is coming soon
The horizon breathes its final breath of daylight
With its lungs in defeat, the colors fade from its face
So sleep, city, sleep
Let the sun go down
Just sleep, city, sleep
Let the sun go down
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
We're the blood in the veins of the cars on the neon streets
And love won't go out of fashion with these hearts on our sleeves
We put our hands up
Put our hands up
Put our hands up all night
For now sleep city, sleep
Let the sun go down
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
Come out
When the stars come out
Come out
When the stars come out
Come out
So sleep city, sleep
Let the sun go down
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
(Sleep city, sleep)
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
(Sleep city, sleep)
We will open up our eyes
When the stars come out
