Honey, I know I'm moving too fast

Walking over water, walking over stained glass

Little white sparrows overhead

Fast as they fly away from here, baby, I'd as soon be dead

All our hillsides being torn down

Losing my mind, buildings all around

Well, it's too late, it's too late, I ain't gonna wait around

Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Polish off some Ballantine's, chase it with some gin

Ten thousand scaffolds holding half a million kids

Well, I reached to grab a glowing rose, but instead I burned my hand

It was just a thousand moths covering

A light, hoping that they eat Van Lame

Life could be a luxury if life forfeited time

'Cause all the time's done to me, scale off and take what's mine

Well, it's not mine, it's not mine, I ain't gonna waste more time

Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Oh, honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Oh, honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Oh, honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall

Honey, I'll be gone before the nightfall
