Creating a Disturbance (Disorderly)

There's a disturbance in the valley while everyone's asleep

And the first time that I met you there were fires in the street

Shouting expletives around corners and running through the night

While our parents opened bottles and kept the candles burning bright

There were fireworks and tickertape and a final bloody hush

And a sharp familiar feeling like we might have had enough

The firemen and the open streets and locks on all the doors

The way we ran down east canal like beggars on all fours

I could have left you anytime along a thousand different paths

But the messes that we left behind shone through the broken glass.

We were ecstatic and elegiac, we were lifted aloft and crushed

And I'm not sure I ever told you but it never was enough

But when the stars hung there above us and when we stopped to breathe

Every night a gift to you, a violent dream to me

So take us away, finally. You have what you came here for

So take us away, finally. You have what you came here for

So take us away, finally. You have what you came here for
