Cars drive and crash in your veins, the moments head on by
A city flashes like strobes, each image multiplied
This train is dragging you onward, and you rattle and sway
Building a stairway of bones and asking you to play
And everyone in the party wants a strand of your hair
The words are falling like nails; you're running down the stairs
The walls are whispering things about the delicate truth
Stand on a stairway of bones, the city built for you
The light is blinding and warm
And tastes like blood on your tongue
The night is guiding you on, tonight this city is yours
Tonight the city is yours and she is speaking your name
The lights are bright in the sky, illuminating the game
Tonight the city is yours; she whispers delicate truths
About the delicate corners lying quiet in you
The green-eyed dragonfly comes and leads you into streets
Where electricity hums and normal function sleeps
The walls are whispering things that bring blood up to your skin
Building a stairway of bones to guide you gently in
And everyone in the party wants a strand of your hair
The words are falling like nails; you're running down the stairs
The walls are whispering things about the delicate truth
Stand on a stairway of bones, the city built for you
The light is blinding and warm
And tastes like blood on your tongue
The night is guiding you on, tonight this city is yours
Tonight the city is yours, tonight you're gonna be heard
The lights are bright in your eyes, illuminating the words
She whispers into your ear
She whispers delicate truths
About desire and fear, about the heart of you
Tonight the city is yours, tonight the city's on fire
The lights are bright in your heart
Illuminating the word
You're bound and hanging in space
She whispers delicate songs
About the devil in you, about where you belong
