A Jukebox In A Desert Of Snow

from A Forest Of Arms by Great Lake Swimmers

/

lyrics

A jukebox in a desert of snow
Cold speakers where nothing grows
There is no limit to the fire under here
Down here her crown is languishing
Under the weight of being free
Figuring out anchor knots, and
Standing still, feeling supernatural
It’s still OK to have this dream

Anyway, I’m sitting here
Wondering how things got so sick
Watching us turn into monsters
And forget how to get home

Don’t eat the light in me
I can handle the dark around me but don’t you
Don’t drag me in there with you
Where it’s so dark I can’t see anything

And the only door that I’ll look for
Is the one I know you’ll answer
And say, honey won’t you come on in
It’s a bitter dark night, but it’s alright
Let me take you in from this cold dark night
It’s alright, it’s alright

Anyway, I’m sitting here
Wondering how things got so sick
Watching us turn into monsters
And forget how to get home

Don’t eat the light in me
I can handle the dark around me but don’t you
Don’t drag me in there with you
Where it’s so dark I can’t see anything

Don’t eat the light in me
I can handle the dark around me but don’t you
Don’t drag me in there with you
Where it’s so dark I can’t see anything
I can’t see anything, I can’t see anything
I can’t see anything, I can’t see anything
