[Verse 1] [Acoustic guitar and rhythmic piano] The midnight train is screaming down the county line I’m sitting with a ghost and a bottle of cheap wine The floorboards are shaking, the shadows start to crawl I’m just another sinner with my back against the wall [Pre-Chorus] [Electric guitar enters with soaring ambient leads] And it's 3 AM again and I am twisting inside out Lost inside the static of my own cinematic doubt Yeah, I am broken down and looking for a spark Just a temporary matchstick to burn away the dark [Chorus] [Full band explosion, driving piano and dual guitar wall of sound] So strike a light and watch the house burn down to the ground! There’s a heavy rescue coming but it makes no joyful sound! We are dancing in the wreckage of the holy things we found! Yeah, we're shouting at the sky until the rain comes tumbling down! [Verse 2] [Rhythm drops back to acoustic guitar and piano] The morning light is cold, it’s a faded shade of grey I’ve got a pocket full of promises that I traded away You can judge me for my scars or the company I keep But I’ve got miles of open highway before I go to sleep [Chorus] [Full energy, anthemic piano and dual guitars] So strike a light and watch the house burn down to the ground! There’s a heavy rescue coming but it makes no joyful sound! We are dancing in the wreckage of the holy things we found! Yeah, we're shouting at the sky until the rain comes tumbling down! [Guitar Solo] [Soaring electric guitar solo over driving gospel piano rhythm] [Outro] [Music fades to solo piano and acoustic guitar] Just a little bit of gold dust... Just a little bit of gravel in the soul... Turn the lights out... Let the big wheels roll. [End]
