Standing in the dark outside the house.
Breathing in the cold and sterile air.
Well I was thinking how it must feel
to see that little light
and watch it as it disappears
and fades into
fades into the night.
So I know you're going pretty soon.
Radiation sore throat got your tongue.
Magic markers tatoo you
and show it where to aim.
And strangers break their promises.
You won't feel any
You won't feel any
pain.
And the streets are jammed with cars
honkin their horns to race
to the wire
of the unfinished line.
Thought that I'd forget all about the past.
But it doesn't let me run too fast.
And I just wanna stand outside
and know that this is right.
That this is true
and I will not
fade into
fade into the night.
Standing here in the dark.
Eels - Dead of Winter
