The Big Sleep - Pull Tiger Tail

For years we’ve lived in the dark

Three years of this and not one day of those years wasn’t ours

I want to move, we ought to leave when the nightmares start

And the city’s closed itself in

So every road now seems to stop where it used to begin

This heart’s so tired, it can’t keep up with the traffickings

Oh, house by house, and street by street

The lights go out;

the city is sleeping

If we move carefully enough

Oh, we can make our escape before she wakes up

She’s in a deep enough dream

That I could take us out ten times and nobody would see

Would every time until I’m sure that she’s missing me

Oh, house by house, and street by street

The lights go out;

the city is sleeping

If we move carefully enough

Oh, we can make our escape before she wakes up

And she thinks that we’ll never leave

She thinks that we’ll never leave

She thinks that we’ll never leave

We could, but we’ll never leave

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)

Oh, house by house, and street by street

The lights go out;

the city is sleeping

If we move carefully enough

We can make our escape before she wakes up

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)

You can run but I won’t follow (She thinks we’ll never leave the city)
