Long After Tonite's Candles Are Blown - Comet Gain

Obliterated by the times release

Count your pennies on the beach

Broken by beliefs

The lost souls in the bar room

poet hunch

Faded hippies on the stamp

His soul is out to lunch

None of this forever keeps us all afraid

It keeps my finger on my pulse

It keeps my bills all paid

Keeps me running on the spot

Keeps me looking at the clock

You’re a miracle morning light

After the pirate ship

We are holding on for life

Because heaven

Heaven is a lie

Morning’s movies, scratchy eyes

I’m fucked by Friday night

Stupid songs

So desperate to fight

To beat it out the child

Flower in the fire

The sad night glows with tippy toes

With all of those sweet lies

Gathered in the downstairs bar

We’ll make some

The history of tapes and times

And a million cute confessions

From Beverly road to Junction road

I’m on the stage tonight

The guitar breaks

We make mistakes

We are freeze-framed in our own dumb light

We are holding on for life

Because heaven

Heaven is a lie

We fall in love with what we were

We plan to go back there

We still keep those shirts and visions

The way we wore our

These nights they are our treasures

Kept near

I’ll stand outside and watch the formation of a ruin

Every sad song locked inside

Too scared to get going

We’re holding onto life

«Cause heaven is a lie

Long after tonight’s candles are blown

And all the sweethearts have gone home

Before the morning kettle sings

Before our wrinkles have set in

Before that light beckons us home

Before the final film is shown

Before that last drunk song is sung

I’ll hold on to your hand

I’ll hold on to everyone

And all we believe in

And I’m holding on to life

'Cause heaven

Heaven is a lie

We’re holding onto life

'Cause heaven

Heaven is a lie
