Lyrics Before They Excavate - Lanterns On The Lake

Before They Excavate

Let’s break in to our old school
And let’s race through the hallways
And jump on the desks
Your small talk is just about killing me here
It’s hard time we both started living
Let’s gate crash the palace
And reclaim what’s ours
Let’s replace the billboards
With beautiful art
Let’s take out every streetlight
In London tonight
And soak up the beating wound
Dive in we’re losing light
It’s been a strange year
And a funny old night
Some day they’ll liberat
Our bones from the soil
And say here was life
The waters are rising
Our leaders are unhinged
Let’s break out the good stuff
And toast to the end
This whole city could be underwater by June
So don’t mind me if I do
Dive in we’re losing light
It’s been a strange year…
And a funny old night
Some day they’ll liberat
Our bones from the soil
And say here was life
Someday they’ll carbon date
This whole sorry mess we made
The hour is late
They are closing in
It’s hard time we begin
This whole planet could go up in flames tonight
And your small talk is just about killing me here
