Swallowed By The Night

The Floating Men

She seems so tangled and wild

Me? Am I too wide-eyed and mild?

She might not think so

I've been around you know

She sets the smoke overhead all aglow with the lights in her eyes

She parts the underground sea

And weaves through the elbows and knees

She might be solo

I'm too shy to ever know

Please, I can't breathe with her inches away from me ordering wine

And she might be lazy

She might be the kind to sleep in a coffin all day

But if I'm so crazy

How come she makes tomorrow seem so far away?

Wake me up

I think I'm falling falling falling

I give up

I think I'm falling falling falling

If I'm not crawling home by morning

I was swallowed by the night

Swallowed by the night



She's damp from dancing alone

Please, have I been down here too long?

She might be lonely

She might just need room to breathe

She faintly smells of patchouli and leather and sweat and I'm losing my mind

And she might be lazy

She might be the kind to sleep in a coffin all day

But if I'm so crazy

How come she makes tomorrow seem so far away?

Wake me up

I think I'm falling falling falling

I give up

I think I'm falling falling falling

If I'm not crawling home by morning

I was swallowed by the night

Swallowed by the night

Wake me up

I think I'm falling falling falling

I give up

I think I'm falling falling falling

If I'm not crawling home by morning

I was swallowed by the night

Swallowed by the night
