Can't you see the rain is falling upwards?
Feels good, feels blue
I wish I was you
Maybe 'cause the train is rolling backwards
Black steel, ghost crew
I wish I was you
Fall into space
Take my place
In the black brigade
Maybe all the pretty little raptures
Go cool under the dew
I wish it was you
Melancholy
Is good for you
You know it's true
Melancholy
Is good for you
You know it's true
Maybe 'cause my brain's a load of fireworks
Let's light this fuse
I wish I was you
Fall into space
Take my place
In the black brigade
Melancholy lovers in the bedroom
Stuck fast like glue
I wish it was you
Melancholy
Is good for you
You know it's true
Melancholy
Is good for you
You know it's true
Why not be wrong together
Just for a little while
Why not belong together
If only for a night
Everybody knows
Everybody knows anyway
Come down by my bedside
See what do you find
Come round turn down the bedsheets
They're cool and so white
Everybody knows
Everybody knows anyway
See how they run in circles
To wag their tongues
Maybe they're carrying torches
Or maybe it's camera phones
Why not be wrong together
You know well as I do
Why not belong together
Do it and we die
Everybody goes
Everybody goes anyway
Come down by my bedside
Where the ocean rolls high
Rest in my body
Get took back by the tide
Everybody goes
Everybody goes anyway
See how they run in circles
To wag their tongues
Maybe they're filling up space
Before their days are done
Why not be wrong together
Hell if I know
You tell me that God is coming
But there's nobody home
I spent all the dark and tragic days
in my lifetime
without you
All it takes to send me the wrong way
Is to linger a second too long
You could turn my world over
With just half a smile
And the worst is you don't even know
I was made to take life the long way
I was mad just to get it all wrong
You could quench all my thirst
With a sip from your cup
And the worst is I'll mess it all up
How I beg you to take me the wrong way
I don't care if it kills me, I swear
Just a word from you dear
Will send me to tears
And the worst is you don't even care
Maybe you're the last stop on my road
I don't know
Oh my soul
Maybe there's no ships left on the coast
Oh my soul
Please don't go to Palmetto
I can hear the ocean's howl
Take me now
Drag me down
Where the shipwrecked sailors all must go
To drown their soul
Please don't go to Palmetto
No wasted time
No tears to dry
I'll stay by your side
I could make things right
But you're in someone else's night
You're in someone else's night
I guess I know that you must fly
I'll be fine
After time
Lay a rose down on our common ground
And watch it grow
From your home in Palmetto
No wasted time
No tears to dry
I'll stay by your side
I could make things right
But you're in someone else's night
You're in Palmetto tonight
So what happens next
Now that you've been freed
Time does what it wants
To what I will be
A hollow tree
Jutting from the sand
Let time lie
Where nothing stands
The hour's running low
Stillborn on the road
See our city weave
Light webs far below
Stall and freeze
While cars race the strand
Let time lie
Where nothing stands
Get in while it's warm
Time wades to its knees
Ocean's washed away
All these empty trees
One bright breeze
Miles of endless sand
Let time lie
Where nothing stands
Let time lie
Where nothing stands
