Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll pretend
My heart's not on fire if you steal
My true love's name, broke down subway
In the city spires
Tape your picture over his in the frame
[Verse 2]
We'll imagine
We're sleeping revolvers, shotgun wedding
In a strange SoHo
Our chambers hold silvery collars
Gun down werewolves wherever we go we
Gun down werewolves wherever we go
[Verse 3]
Midnight phone calls
In the back of a mustang
Creased white pages, torn right from the spine
Kissed my neck with a crocked, cracked fang
You always hoped one day you'd be mine
[Verse 4]
Threw our fathers
On funeral pyres, I'm not sure
We were playing a game
Busted gasket in a field full of liars
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame
[Verse 5]
Uh, huh
Uh, huh
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
[Verse 6]
Band of gold
With a diamond implied, you wrote letters
That you never sent
I made promises
I'll always deny
Now we'll never know what the other meant
[Verse 7]
Watch is ticking
Like a heartbeat gone berserk
Lost the chance to wind the key
Roosters are nothing
But clucking clockwork
Our fears are only what we tell them to be
Our fears are only what we tell them to be
[Verse 8]
Drown the last of our matches
Burn the rest of each other
You were strongest when I ached for breath
Through the thick of smoke, we'll finally smother
[Verse 9]
Oh
Ah
Uh, huh
Uh, huh
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
[Verse 10]
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
[Verse 11]
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
[Verse 12]
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
[Verse 13]
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
[Verse 14]
Young blood
Young bone
