Featuring Dominique Reid (Nikki Morgan) on backup vocals

lyrics

It's not desolation row
there's no poetry here
every deadbeat with a daydream
sings through their tears

there's dust on the windowpane
there's a closet on my bed
there's a whole world outside
& I want no part of it

sometimes I feel so empty
sometimes I want to die
come now sweet love
send this poor boy to the sky

the mountain tamed the tiger
the angel is the thief
and edens long been burning
I never trusted the priest

or anyone that claimed to know
anything at all
the world should leave you spinning
besides the alcohol

sometimes I feel so empty
sometimes I want to die
come now wicked love
send this poor boy to the sky

maybe the mist will clear
all the children know
at the center of the earth
a train whistle blows

in the barrel of the night
you may hear it cry
calling all lost boys to the sky
calling all lost boys,
to the sky.
