We were on in August
Celebrate the summer and this
Early morning to airport lines and
Cheap seats in the open sky
Gimme foreign cities
Gimme late-night rooftop buildings
Sheets _- and the night gets still
Cigarettes for the windowsill
You plant your hands, they rest on my knees
The promises we wanted to keep
Know that we can both be better than that
We can be the color in black
We can be the lions in all the cats
We can be forever fighting back
Then again, December
Steady-ready for a new disaster
The world works in a wicked ways
Work it out with a whisky rage
You plant your hands, they rest on my knees
The promises we wanted to keep
Know that we can both be better than that
We can be the color in black
We can be the lions in all the cats
We can be forever fighting back
We can be the color in black
We can be the color in black
Even if you call me from your front steps
Even if I'm waking to the sounds
Say you wanna live it but you forget how
Know that we can both be better than that
We can be the color in black
We can be the lions in all the cats
We can be forever fighting back
We can be the color in black
We can be the color in black
