Lyrics

There's a light overhead, overhead
In the sky overhead, overhead
And I'm with you now
In body in music and mind
And we're silent and still
Everything's so out of control tonight
In a plane that's flying fast
At a speed that makes me cry
If you left me now
To trouble that won't let me lie
I'm awake all the time
You know where I stand
Holding my plastic gun
Turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us there's no defence
Your flash and your wickedness
You can't break out of
Tie my hands behind my back
Put a gag on top of my mouth
But I won't give you up
'Til silverware's covered in dust
And my shoes fall apart
The tumbleweed runs
Over my desert heart
So turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us, there's no defense
Your flash and your wickedness
Will surely bring you down again
Somehow we stay afloat
We won't give in to the undertow
Some things you will never know
But you can't break out of
Coming down
But you can't break out of
Slowing down
But you can't break out of
(Can't break out of)
(Can't break out of)
But you can't break out of
Coming down, you can't break out of
