"Black Match" lyrics
[Part I]
He is not awake, he is not asleep
He's in the apartment, seven levels deep
What is it?
What is it?
Making constellations
From the windows inside
Through the city
Someone else will be in, if he isn't
One missing light, in a million
Transforms the image
What is it?
[Part II]
These surfaces do not describe me
Synthetic, vinyl, stucco, baby powder
Too many stories that smell right through you
Just give me some warning before you can love next time
(Out on the carpet, I'm up in Jury Duty)
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Something different, is beginning
Different numbers at night
In your phones light
You hold your breath
And strain to listen
Something different, is beginning
(I'm) I'm thinking too much
[Part III]
Cold and the dame, on a ride
With a cold, in the back
And the dame, on the ride
With the cold, in the back
And the dame, on the ride
With the cold, in the back
And the dame, on the ride
I can't sleep at night
I can't sleep at night
I can't sleep at night
I can't sleep at night
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
And the dame in the back
The rack at the tracks
The dame in the back
One blackened match, inside the box
A finger trapped, you try your luck
Put your bets on me
Pass the book and leave
Pass the book and leave
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
And the dame in the back
The rack at the tracks
The dame in the back
Something up your sleeve
Something up your sleeve
Something up your sleeve
Something up your sleeve
Black match on me
Black match on me
Black match on me
Black match on-
Bongo, bongo, bongo
Bongo, bongo, bon-
[Part IV]
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(One more time)
(One more time)
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down now
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down now
(Yeah) Oh, I got you down now
(Yeah) Oh, I want you burning down now
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down now
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down now
(Yeah) Paranoia's got you down now
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down now
(Yeah) I think I'm burning, burning down now
(Yeah) Oh, how?
(Yeah) Burn it down, burn it down now
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down now
(Yeah) Burn it down, burn it down now
(Yeah) I think I'm burning down now
(Yeah) Burn it down, yeah
[Part V]
Feel
Deep-
Deep-
Deep-
Deep-
You can love again, if you try again
You can love again, if you try again (Deep-, deep-)
You can love again, if you try again
You can love again, if you try again (Deep-)
Cold metal, smooth metal
Open sandpit, under starlight (Deep-, deep-)
Empty shoebox diorama
You and me, you and me, you and me
You can love again, if you try again
You can love again, if you try again (You love)
You can love again, if you try again (If you-)
You can love again, if you try again
You can love again, if you try again (You love)
You can love again, if you try again
You can love, love again, if you try again
You love, love, love, love, love (If you-)
Again
Try, try, try, try again
You can love, love, love, love, love, love, love
If you try
He is not awake, he is not asleep
He's in the apartment, seven levels deep
What is it?
What is it?
Making constellations
From the windows inside
Through the city
Someone else will be in, if he isn't
One missing light, in a million
Transforms the image
What is it?
[Part II]
These surfaces do not describe me

Too many stories that smell right through you

Different numbers at night
In your phones light
You hold your breath
And strain to listen
Something different, is beginning

I can't sleep at night
