[Verse 1] The sun went down in forty-five, or so the legends say And left behind a fever dream that simply wouldn't fade away I see you standing in the haze, where the skyline used to be A silhouette of neon gold, a vision meant for me [Chorus] Oh, darling, feel the rhythm of the ticking in my hand As we waltz across the glass and bone of this forgotten land They told us that the sky would fall, that hope was just a ghost But I find my sanctuary in the glow I love the most It’s a radiant kind of longing, a hum beneath the skin Where the world ends in a whisper, and our dance begins [Verse 2] The stars are shy behind the clouds of silver-threaded dust The iron birds have fallen still, surrendered to the rust But there’s a light within your eyes, a strange and steady blue That burns much brighter than the fire the ancient cities knew [Bridge] They searched for shelter in the deep, behind the heavy doors Mapping out the wasteland on those cold and quiet floors But I don’t need a leaden wall to keep the spirits high As long as I can hold you ‘neath this technicolor sky [Chorus] Oh, darling, feel the rhythm of the ticking in my hand As we waltz across the glass and bone of this forgotten land They told us that the sky would fall, that hope was just a ghost But I find my sanctuary in the glow I love the most [Outro] So let the Geiger counter sing its frantic little tune We’ll find a patch of scorched-earth grass beneath a hollow moon Just a radiant kind of longing In the warmth Of the afterglow
