? Idlewild -- Travis(ft. Josephine Oniyama)

 

  Idlewild~~~~♬

   It was upon a row of houses
   Tight skirts and baggy trousers
   Grey men in cheap disguises,
   High hopes and higher rises
   Who lived a girl who was on a mission
   Who lived a boy who was under suspicion
   Tried hard to stay beside her
   Until the devil put his seed inside her

   How?
   You know how
   Sleep to long and the sand runs out
   So close to midnight
   Time to fly
   Do or die
   Stoned in the headlights

   Here we lie
   High and dry
   The world will never see you 'til you open your eyes
   Say goodnight
   Kill the light
   The world will never hear you tonight
   Idlewild

   For two years he tried to reach her
   Worshiped the ground beneath her
   She, she was always running
   He, he saw the end was coming
   But now the story takes a turning
   She wakes up and her sheets are burning
   Head down against the fire
   Now, now, now the table turns

   She won't learn
   Sleep to long and your bed starts burning
   So close to midnight
   Idlewild
   You don't know it
   You never need to

   Here we lie
   High and dry
   The world will never see you 'til you open your eyes
   Say goodnight
   Kill the light
   The world will never hear you tonight
   Idlewild
   Idlewild

   I thought that we were good together
   I thought that we could weather the weather
   Whether or not the whys, the wherefores
   The high hopes were only there because, because,

 

   Because I thought the only thing between us
   Was something shallow now a river so deep we see it
   Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
   And lay it on the banks to rot and fester
   And now I smell it hanging like a death star,
   In Gretna Green, Derby, Manchester[?]
   I don't want to hear it now

   Here we lie
   High and dry
   The world will never see you 'til you open your eyes
   Say goodnight, kill the light
   The world will never hear you tonight
   Idlewild
   Idlewild
   Kill the light
   Idlewild...
