Staring At The Sun - The Subways

Cross the street from your storefront cemetery

Hear me hailing from inside and realize

I am the conscience clear

In pain or ecstasy

And we were all weaned my dear

Upon the same fatigue

(You're staring at the sun)

Oh my own voice

Cannot save me now

Standing in the sea

Its just one more breath

And then down i go

Your mouth is open wide

The lover is inside

And all the tumults done

Collided with the sign

You’re staring at the sun

You’re standing in the sea

Your body’s over me

Note the trees because

The dirt is temporary

More to mine than fact face

Name and monetary

Beat the skins and let the

Loose lips kiss you clean

Quietly pour out like light

Like light, like answering the sun

You’re staring at the sun

You’re standing in the sea

Your mouth is open wide

You’re trying hard to breathe

The water’s at your neck

There’s lightning in your teath

Your bodys over me

You’re staring at the sun

You’re standing in the sea

Your mouth is open wide

You’re trying hard to breathe

The water’s at your neck

There’s lightning in your teath

Your bodys over me

Be what you will

And then throw down your life

Oh it’s a damned fine game

And we can play all night

You’re staring at the sun

You’re standing in the sea

Your mouth is open wide

You’re trying hard to breathe

The water’s at your neck

Your body’s over me
