Probably knew that we were going our separate ways
From the very start
Setting sail for the East
As soon as we heard the whistle blow
Got heads full of thunder
And we're leaving on clouds of smoke
Burn it all to the ground
And try to start again
Where did you go
When the lightning came close
There's a storm rolling in up ahead
No way around so
Steady as she goes
Straight to the eye of the storm
There's a man painted red from his head to his hands
But it makes no difference to me
Even though you're home
You're still far from the countryside
You look through old photographs
But you can't recognize those faces anymore
The beautiful and the damned
Dance side by side
Where did you go
When the lightning came close
There's a storm rolling in up ahead
No way around so
Steady as she goes
Straight to the eye of the storm
Can we speak before we dance
'Cause I was never good at talking with my feet
I once heard that wringing your hands
Stops you from rolling up your sleeves
We all wish it was different
But no one quite comes home from that
The beautiful and the damned
Are dancing side by side
Where did you go
When the lightning came close
There's a storm rolling in up ahead
No way around so
Steady as she goes
Straight to the eye of the storm
