Oh let's lie down for another night

I'll hold you close under these skies

Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives

Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives

We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the night

We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the light

 Your father's on his way back home from site

Your mother's in the kitchen batting her eyelash

She would never want to be the one to despise

 And our heartbeats stop as we plunge through the ice

 We're broken down lovers at the side of the road

We're broken down lovers in the city of oil

 There's nothing going wrong in your empty home

There's nothing going wrong and we'll leave it alone

 Let's slip under the covers just to save our lives

 And our heartbeats stop as we plunge through the ice

Triple up your socks to dodge the frostbite

 Cutting through Barnes' Yard hip deep in the night

Rough and tumble lovers underneath the covers tonight

I was holding onto you and you were holding me tight

Nothing's going wrong and nothing's ever going

Oh let's lie down for another night

 I'll hold you close under these skies

 Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives

 Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives

 We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the night

 And there's nothing going wrong in the city tonight

Nothing's going wrong and there's nothing ever holding us down

Oooooh ohh oh

Nothing's going wrong and no one's ever holding us down

Your parents, they say there's beautiful things in this old place

Your parents. they say there's beautiful things in this cold place

 Now your parents say there's nothing for us in this old place

Don't leave me to stay and dream of how you're growing

Oh let's lie down for another night

 I'll hold you close under these skies

 Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives

 Your brother's in the basement doing hot knives

 We struggle to tear ourselves apart in the night

 And there's nothing going wrong in the city tonight
