Here They Come - Hamilton Leithauser

The lights are coming on

And all your candy’s gone

Spinning through the previews

Flipping through the seats

Popcorn in your loafers

Sugar in your teeth

You say the lovers in your life

Should listen to you more

But you can tell that to the usher

Showing you the door

All the lights are on

And all my candy’s gone

I was a fool

I was blind

I kept my eyes shut half the time

All the lights

One by one

Here they come

On a sparking subway train

Breaking through a tunnel underneath Broadway

With one arm waving wild

At some kids on the other side

And one arm on my shoulder

Wrapped around my shoulder

I was a fool

I was blind

I kept my eyes shut half the time

All the lights

One by one

Here they come

Take the hand that’s reaching towards you

When the shadow stands before you

Arm and arm with a uniform

Gonna swing you right through the front door

I was a fool

I was blind

I kept my eyes shut half the time

All the lights

One by one

Here they come

I was a fool

I was blind

I kept my eyes shut half the time

All the lights

One by one

Here they come
