Old Girl - Algiers

Old girl, old girl

I know you’re rabid with disease

And your eyes say that you’re lying

So I don’t care where you sleep

Old girl, little girl

I know you get close with your friends

And every time I see you lying

I can feel you lying within

The dark can only hide you for so long

He’s going to find you where you sleep

And he’s going to make you wish for dawn

Old girl, little girl

You know your age don’t mean a thing

When all the years pile on like cancer

Just like the way you grew on me

Old girl, old girl

Don’t want to see your face again

Just like I know what was the beginning

But now I know just how it ends

The dark can only hide you for so long

He’s going to find you where you sleep

And he’s going to make you wish for dawn

Old girl, old girl

Already dead before your time

Just like you took your life for granted

And then you sell your diamond skies

You better get your house in order

You better get your mind right

The darkest hour’s coming

And then we’ll be all out of time

The dark can only hide you for so long

He’s going to find you where you sleep

And he’s going to make you wish for dawn

Keep me waiting

Keep me still

Sprawled and pinned beneath your

Beneath your heel

Minutes clangor

Battle cries

Brittle conscience

Empty eyes

Killing slow the empty parts

Watching worlds fall apart

Misconstrue our precious time

Keep me watching falling skies

Keep me in the box you hide

Underneath your bed at night

No more siren

Cast her down

Seven circles

Further down
