In a Black Out - Hamilton Leithauser, ROSTAM

I live in a nameless town

No need to wander around

I live in a nameless town

In a black out

Many friends have said goodbye

Pouring it out in one proud line

I say they all just lost their minds

Midnight where we used to dance

Underneath the ugly halogen lamps

How it all went away so fast

In a black out

We’ll wait for the year

When the time comes

Rolling over the rails

From here 'til the end

Of the island

Washing away

I live with myself with all our stuff

When you come home I’d lift you up

And there’s only my troubles

In a black out

Now you’re sleeping in the back

Of a speeding yellow cab

Raw kiss goodbye to more or less
