  • The street is a boneyard, she glances
    Numbers are drained at the end, end
    Cradling heat waves and armour
    Burn the body slowly
    And how ready are you to know this
    How do we live in the end, end

    I bet you the price of the landmine
    You won’t be here at the end, end
    You won’t be slumped in a doorway
    You’ll be standing above it
    And how can you call this a free world
    Who do you call out at the end, end

    No more doubt about it

    [Chorus]
    I wanna take you home
    Take off your blindfold
    And show you what I am
    I wanna take you home
    And find some new joy in this autopilot life
    I wanna take you home
    Slow down your heartbeat
    And dry those glazing eyes
    I wanna take you home
    Blackout our windows
    And hold you till we die

    What if the first step was leaving
    And stepping outside in the cold, end
    Facing the smoke and you’re lurching
    Down the alleys, kiss me
    And how many lives lived in fear now
    And who do we call in the end, end

    There was a pattern of errors
    There was a life here to mend, mend
    I wasn’t watching the cold past
    Put on my body slowly
    And there goes a [?] of free men
    Rattling round in the end, end

    No more doubt about it

    [Chorus]
    I wanna take you home
    Take off your blindfold
    And show you what I am
    I wanna take you home
    And find some new joy in this autopilot life
    I wanna take you home
    Slow down your heartbeat
    And dry those glazing eyes
    I wanna take you home
    Blackout our windows
    And hold you till we die

    [Chorus]
    I wanna take you home
    Take off your blindfold
    And show you what I am
    I wanna take you home
    And find some new joy in this autopilot life
    I wanna take you home
    Slow down your heartbeat
    And dry those glazing eyes
    I wanna take you home
    Blackout our windows
    And hold you till we die

    Ohhhh, I’m sorry
