[Verse1]
Ghost town and there's no one around
Doesn't mean a lot to me
Pinned down at the edges of town (pinned down?)
Not a lot of sights to see
Nothing's gonna come for free
Heard news of the carrion blues
Heard it in the wind they say
Made friends with unscrupulous ends
We're running out of moves that play
Nothing left to do but pray
[Chorus]
When the sun is out
Seizing the shred of doubt
Hearing you laugh and shout
And see another day
Frivolous misery
Feeling it cling to me
Though we have yet to see
That there's another way
[Verse2]
Frail tune in the light of the moon
Blinded by the light they say
Clean break - rattle and shake
What's it gonna take to stay?
What's it gonna cost to play?
Stand tall in the thick of it all
We choose what we refuse to try
Night brings unspeakable things
Brittle in the evening sky
Colder as the day goes by
[Chorus]
When the sun is out
Seizing the shred of doubt
Hearing you laugh and shout
And see another day
Frivolous misery
Feeling it cling to me
Though we have yet to see
That there's another way
[Bridge]
Came by the other day
Didn't have a lot to say
Reminisce on times gone by
Contemplate your alibi
But it's ok ....
[Long Chorus]
When the sun is out
Seizing the shred of doubt
Hearing you laugh and shout
And see another day
Frivolous misery
Feeling it cling to me
Though we have yet to see
That there's another way
As the days go by
Gazing into the sky
Each of us testifies
Before the day is done
Questioning everything
See them all scattering
Silence is shattering
Before the setting sun
[Outro]
Came by the other day
Didn't have a lot to say
Your eyes were shining bright
Which path we choose tonight
