Pressed up against this shop front Drawing faces there in Crayon Its a long way from the pocket full of rain And you have walked the streets for hours With your loose change and your flowers And now I'll learn your body like a nursery rhyme in braille Its a simple explanation for the paths that you have taken You have stumbled from the cradle to a prayer But in this darkened room we have got heart enough to burn We can dance away the hours we can leave our questions there
and we'll tear it all down
So welcome to our winning streak no broken bones or old deceits Its you and me versus this little town We're the rag dolls in the gutter we're the curses that they'll mutter And you will still be trying on my heart just like a crown
and we'll tear it all down
I know your tactics all the practice this bravery took And the flags are flying you're trying out a different look
So theres a candle in the window I've got a lousy history of tomorrows So I'll spill the beans in every little sound You are the creaking of the door you are the chorus of applause You are wishbones and the axis that these songs will spin around
