lyrics
lorelei
walks alone at night
searching for what
she can’t describe
neon signs
under the pale moonlight
are speaking in code
but the meaning’s shy
in a daze
the signals out of range
her feet start to fail
and it’s getting late
street unpaved
she’s never gone this way
hot on the trail
to be led astray
and lately the winds blow cold
deep down into her bones
and her mind takes her places
she would rather never go
she’s slipping through the cracks
and then she’s falling back
into an endless void
where there is nothing she can grasp
back to the fold
beyond time
had it all wrong
there is no why
the center can’t hold
these shattered lines
they scattered the stars
across the night sky
fingertip
of an index on her lips
her thoughts echo loud
but no words could fit
lorelei
walked alone at night
searching for what
she can’t describe
back to the fold
beyond time
had it all wrong
there was no why
the center can’t hold
these shattered lines
they scattered the stars
across the night sky
walks alone at night
searching for what
she can’t describe
neon signs
under the pale moonlight
are speaking in code
but the meaning’s shy
in a daze
the signals out of range
her feet start to fail
and it’s getting late
street unpaved
she’s never gone this way
hot on the trail
to be led astray
and lately the winds blow cold
deep down into her bones
and her mind takes her places
she would rather never go
she’s slipping through the cracks
and then she’s falling back
into an endless void
where there is nothing she can grasp
back to the fold
beyond time
had it all wrong
there is no why
the center can’t hold
these shattered lines
they scattered the stars
across the night sky
fingertip
of an index on her lips
her thoughts echo loud
but no words could fit
lorelei
walked alone at night
searching for what
she can’t describe
back to the fold
beyond time
had it all wrong
there was no why
the center can’t hold
these shattered lines
they scattered the stars
across the night sky
