Brass

darling, come over, it's over
together we'll see
the air here is thicker than liquor
do you know what i mean

the lights are all gone
but the sky that falls illuminates me
what happens must happen
for more than reasons yet to be seen

so let the brass band play
such a welcomed sound
let the ashes dance on--
tongues before we leave
before we go underground

believing is deceiving
if leaving was the most we can drink
the cup's still overflowing
from knowing all of a father's good deeds

how can we fight the very beast inside
that each of us needs
to know you, to love you
to perpetuate a selfish routine

so let the brass band play
such a welcomed sound
let the ashes dance on--
tongues before we leave
before we go underground
learn from our mistakes
let's love again
we'll learn from our mistakes
let's love again

so let the brass band play
such a welcomed sound
let the ashes dance on--
tongues before we leave
before we go underground

we have the whole world in our hands
we have the whole world in our hands
we have the whole world in our hands
tonight
