We were on in August Celebrate the summer and this Early morning to airport lines and Cheap seats in the open sky Gimme foreign cities Gimme late-night rooftop buildings Sheets _- and the night gets still Cigarettes for the windowsill You plant your hands, they rest on my knees The promises we wanted to keep Know that we can both be better than that We can be the color in black We can be the lions in all the cats We can be forever fighting back Then again, December Steady-ready for a new disaster The world works in a wicked ways Work it out with a whisky rage You plant your hands, they rest on my knees
The promises we wanted to keep Know that we can both be better than that We can be the color in black We can be the lions in all the cats We can be forever fighting back We can be the color in black We can be the color in black Even if you call me from your front steps Even if I'm waking to the sounds Say you wanna live it but you forget how Know that we can both be better than that We can be the color in black We can be the lions in all the cats We can be forever fighting back We can be the color in black We can be the color in black
