Nighttime is wasted on the owls And the bloodshot eyes on the prowl Human air, sticky skin Doesn't let much else in Just say the word and I can be gone in an hour Say the word and I can be gone in an hour Nighttime is wasted on the owls And the faces with their pretty mouths Human air, sticky skin, doesn't let much else sink in Idle hands, an empty house Try to focus on our better selves Human air, sticky skin Just say the word and I can be gone in an hour Say the word and I can be gone in an hour Take a good long round as the city fades (x2) Away, away, away(x2) & Its been growing since the day we planned it many years ago Its hard to start knowing When to stop digging let the roots take hold It keeps growing(x2) Just say the word and I can be gone in an hour(x2) Take a good look round as the city fades(x2) Away, away, away(x2)
