We Look Like Lightning

I forgot what month it is again

I'm half awake

I know it's wrong but I swear to God it's almost Christmas

In a language I don't understand

There's a shaking voice on the PA

The other passengers seem nervous

I'm playing

What song do you want to die to?

What song do you

I'm suddenly aware of our speed

Sew the world together tightly

Cinch the gaps with pins and string

And the beacon out there on the wing

It lights the clouds from inside out

And from the ground we look like lightning

I'm playing

What song do you want to die to?

What song do you

I'm everywhere at once again

I hear the ocean in the engine

I feel the moonlight creeping in

Maybe it's all in my head

An unknown foreign presence in your bloodstream

I'm a stranger in my bed

I'm playing

What song do you want to die to?

What song do you want to die to?

What song do you want to die to?

What song do you?

I'm flashing back to us one night in a prairie town

(Tornado alley, outrunning a storm)

They can see the dirt there under my fingernails

(I'm just a pile of bones left on an airport floor)

The bags under my eyes have got space when you bottom out

(To pack your things and make a break for the door)

One day the things you love are gonna put you in the ground

(But I'm planning on running 'til I can't anymore)

What song do you, want to die to?

What song do you, want to die to?

What song do you, want to die to?

What song do you?

What song do you?

What song do you?
