Casualty

I don’t need to watch the sun come up,
I can live without dancefloors and drugs
I don’t want to be a casualty
Seems safer to stay at home and fall asleep
But when I see the orange fight against the blue
How could anything be sweeter than watching the sunrise with you

Once more, for the first time
Makeshift fires and cheap red wine
Five short hours
Where we remember what its like to be alive

Coloured light globes, grey smoke
Fold out chairs around a table of oak
Stretching out my time
Spent this close to hope

But I don’t need to watch the sun come up,
I can live without dancefloors and drugs
I don’t want to be a casualty
Seems safer to stay at home and watch TV to me
But when I see the orange fight against the blue
How could anything be sweeter than watching the sunrise with you

The night moves, outside
Trying to get away from all the carbon monoxide
We’ll make tightropes out of power lines
And find somewhere new to hide

Concrete and streetlights,
Like a tar black back to the star stained sky
Silence, of the city kind
Is all I think I needed tonight

It was in my lungs but it was gone before the start,
Passed right by my brain and headed for the heart
The facts will fade but I’ll still hold the part
That passed right by my brain and headed for the heart

I don’t need to watch the sun come up,
I could live without dancefloors and drugs
I don’t want to be a casualty
Though I know it’s coming round eventually
Cause when I see the orange fight against the blue
How could anything be sweeter than watching the sunrise with you
