So Many Dynamos - How High The Moon lyrics

There are needles in the evening air, sirens came but now they've disappeared We don't speak with our folded hands. We don't listen, we don't understand I didn't take it seriously when it whispered from a billion feet I didn't like what the moon told me before it burst into a million pieces It said, "Don't go out tonight without batteries and flashlights." There are bullets in the evening air, falling quickly through the atmosphere Under your desks, kids, under your desks Bad moon's falling, kids, cover your heads 55 looks like a bar-fought floor, shards of gla** make an obstacle course So we throw searchlights into the sky, silent beacons to the people pa**ing by It says, "Streets are ours tonight, we've got batteries and flashlights." Hope you've got your things together Hope you're ready to retire You can call it anything that you desire But hurricanes have clever names and the aftermath is still the same There are words that could never intend to be heard through conditioning vents There are hearts that could only relate to a song that will never see tape There are landmines to never be fired made of ends that stay forever untied So we throw searchlights into the sky And we wait for C cells to go dry Don't go out tonight
