A pistol shot, at five o'clock, the bells of heaven ring,
tell me what you done it for, No I won't tell you a thing.
Yesterday I begged you before I hit the ground,
all I leave behind me is only what I found.
If you can abide it, let the hurdy-gurdy play,
stranger ones have come by here before they flew away.
I will not condemn you nor yet would I deny,
I would ask the same of you, but failing, will not die.
Take up your china doll, take up your china doll,
it's only fractured and just a little nervous from the fall.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la.midnight people
rushing for a downtown train
watching and wasting away
their hearts beat free
cool frequency
and i don't know what it is
i'm gonna run the slow dawn
seeking sigh, oh so faint
i'm gonna run the slow dawn awake
it's blessed undone
the songbirds are wrong
and i'm not sure what it is
but i'm sure that i could give it
awake the slow dawn
slow dawn moves by my side
teach your silent sleep
slow dawn
the midnight people
washing down here, wasting way
they're gonna run the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
