[[EXTENDED INTRO: QUIET ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTAL BUILDS SLOWLY]] [[VERSE 1]] You were living your nightmare in suburbia Raging for decades ad nauseum Your eyes said "I want someone to disturb me" But to look my way was surely implausible. [[VERSE 2]] I know a place at the edge of everything: This town, your inhibitions, our collective fear We’ll enter the eye of all that’s unsettling For once in this life, your mind will be clear. [[CHORUS]] There’s a storm on the outskirts On the outskirts of town tonight Every natural thing feels our pressure rising I’m wounded, I'm wounded, I'm wounded But I’ll help you come ‘round tonight Fly into my arms, your tears are capsizing Overturning Capsizing Collapsing [[VERSE 3]] Something gets fed when you touch someone, Like hunger. set deeply into bone. Your absence and your presence Rush into one, rush into one, rush into one Enormous burden in this heart of broken stone. This stone is broken This stone is broken This stone is broken [[CHORUS]] There’s a storm on the outskirts On the outskirts of town tonight Every natural thing feels our pressure rising This pressure is rising, rising and falling I’m wounded, I'm wounded, I'm wounded but I’ll help you come ‘round tonight Stumble into my arms, your fears are capsizing Overturning Capsizing Collapsing [[BRIDGE]] Let’s dream of the life we may never lead, Here in the shelter of this room. Let’s talk about what may never succeed Hidden from the face of the moon. Hidden from the face of the moon. Let’s dream of the life we may never lead The dream is real, the dream is real, the dream is real Here in the shelter of this room. Let’s talk about what may never succeed [[FINAL CHORUS]] There’s a storm on the outskirts On the outskirts of town tonight Every natural thing hears the whispers dying Whispers dying, whispers dying Silently wounded, silently wounded I’ll help you come ‘round tonight Sigh into my arms, the angels have taken to flying. Hovering Ascending Soaring They fly away, they fly away [[OUTRO]] There’s a storm on the outskirts of town tonight Silently wounded, I’ll help you come ‘round tonight Silently wounded, you'll help me come down tonight Fly into my arms, your tears are worth crying. Fly into my arms Fly into my arms Fly into my arms These tears are worth crying Cry them with me Cry them with me
