Lyric The World Is Lit By Lightning


so maybe you re standing
       in some foreign town
       you ve walked for miles
       till the heat slows you down
       and your jeans and your curls
       are bleached and split
       and your money and your anger       
       are all used up
       maybe i m sorry
       about the light in this place
       makes my heart seem cold       
       as the words on these pages
       maybe i m reminded       
       by a shop window display or a decoration
       like some church candle that might just burn
       
        cause we re dancing under chandeliers and i m telling you
       caught in the headlights and i m yelling it at you
       why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
       that i keep telling you that i love you
       
       so you re ten miles out
       of this city at night
       when do coloured lights
       become paint and glass and dust
       and how i wonder
       what light to trust
       the light of the distance
       or the candle that might just burn
       
        cause we re dancing under chandeliers and i m telling you
       caught in the headlights and i m yelling it at you
       why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
       that i keep telling you that i love you
       
       seraphim and cherubim
       skies full of gold dust
       moonshine and starlight
       pockets full of rainbows
       windows and mirrored balls
       porcelain and silverlake
       dance hall neons flash and swing
       blow out your candles
       it will call you angel
       angel
       angel
       when the world knows your name

       dancing under chandeliers and i m telling you
       caught in the headlights and i m yelling it at you
       why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
       that i keep telling you that i love you

       i love you
       i love you

        cause we re dancing under chandeliers and i m telling you
       caught in the headlights and i m yelling it at you
       why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
       that i keep telling you that i love you
