Deep Shade of Indigo Lyrics

Faded postcards of places we'll never see

Lost in the echoes of who we'll never be

Loaded gun on the table with overdue books

A slight breeze while I dangle from the hook

As twilight descends, the horizon ignites

We shiver here in the cold of the neon lights

Escape once and for all, and with no relapses

We kiss in silhouette as the bridge collapses

Snow on the TV, static on the radio

Walls collapse into the hum of the afterglow

The city burns while we dance in the shadows

Everything dyed a deep shade of Indigo

Flies in the winter or a midnight bee sting

Cats in the attic or mice in the bedsprings

Please tell me, is it heartbeat or is it morse code

The system collapsed but we're still taking the high road

They can't haunt you if you don't believe in ghosts

The ocean's burning but they're looking for votes

I light myself on fire just to wake up the crowd

Smile pretty for the picture with the mushroom cloud

Snow on the TV, static on the radio

Walls collapse into the hum of the afterglow

The city burns while we dance in the shadows

Everything dyed a deep shade of Indigo

Stared at the horizon until we hallucinated

The entire city so beautiful illuminated

Pastel tornados flickering with broken exit signs

Stuck forever here in the confines of sometimes

Hollow Easter Bunnies and trip-wire claymores

We dance with the landmines as they kick off the war

Let me hold you as we walk across the tightrope

And we'll shimmer forever in the blue kaleidoscope

Hold my hand as we pass through the wire

They'll never catch us in the crossfire

Hold my hand as we pass through the wire

They're never gonna catch us in the crossfire

Snow on the TV, static on the radio

Walls collapse into the hum of the afterglow

The city burns while we dance in the shadows

Everything dyed a deep shade of Indigo
