The Song They Play Every Night - Little Green Cars

Dark, ringing through the sky

Shaking in the clouds until the harps are out of tune

And the song they play every night

Keeping you awake while the thought sleeps in your soul

And every load I took to fill a hole that caved inside

Just made it deeper, darker and wider than before

Don’t make me say it out loud any more

And I cop, just to change my scene

And turn a useful nightmare into a boring dream

And my room, like a map of my time

It’s always half past twelve and divided by two lines

And every step I took to take me further from the source

Just brought me closer, inward and more lost than before

Don’t make me say it out loud anymore

Oh well, if you don’t love me now you didn’t love me before

And my love is turning into grief

And loneliness, thy enemy, it’s my only relief

From a child lost in a crowd

Looking for the landmarks that you keep burning down

And every sip I took from cups I carved out of my skull

Just made me older, slower and sadder than before

Don’t make me say it out loud anymore

Oh now, if you don’t love me now you didn’t love me before
