"Darkly" lyrics

"Darkly"

Turn on the light in the hotel room
On the rarefied air that she moves through
Playin' a game of Who's Leaving Who
Are you leaving me if I'm not leaving you?
Uh huh

Venus wades into the sea above her sways infinity
A heroic supernova's seen burning bright in the canopy

Darkly, we see
And though I hope to be a better man we all fall down

That panting, animal intimacy
When the thermometer reads 95 degrees we sweat and pray all afternoon
That the storm clouds come, that the heat break soon
Oh mercurial Mercury, crossing all our boundaries
A far cry from the hotel room, with its air-conditioned, committee'd gloom
Ah I wish that I could see the boy
Who would find your fine house and destroy
And on some winsome winter day
I'd turn to you and I would say

Darkly, we see
And though I hope to be a better man
We all fall down
Darkly, we see
At first in part and then in full
We open our eyes
