Midnight Sun

They say the king of birds And the queen of hearts Wore each other's keys Before they called the wedding off And all the feathers rained down And the town fell asleep Pulling on the poems For the midnight sun Pulling on the poems For the midnight sun Yeah, she shook the ground (Shook the ground) With every breath (Every breath) Tossed his troubles aside (Troubles aside) Made a shrine of every mess Well, a woman appeared (Woman appeared) With a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile) She handed him a rose (Handed him a rose) Then he turned to stone She handed him a rose And he turned to stone Then they laid him in the creek Where the river ran dry To the mouth of wisdom And the end of doubt Then the woman reappeared With a blank spread smile Took him by the rose Then he turned to stone Yeah, she handed him a rose Left him all alone Well, they lifted the stone (The stone) Then they mapped the stars (The stars) Brought back the keys (Keys) And unlocked their hearts (Their hearts) And the birds returned (The birds) With songs in their eyes (Their eyes) With maps to the world (The world) Never seen Maps to the world Never seen
