Lyrics

[00:00.308] Is it going?
[00:18.281] I woke up on a 747
[00:26.581] Flying through some stock footage of heaven
[00:34.289] This is the light right here
[00:36.748] Before clouds bittersweet and with suggestion
[00:42.113] This is the light
[00:43.574] Bald and bold as baby crawling toward adulteration
[00:53.608] There was blood when you were born
[00:55.599] And the blood was wiped from your eyes
[01:01.357] This must be the light you saw
[01:04.485] That just left you screaming
[01:09.162] And this must be the light you saw
[01:11.941] Before our eyes could disguise true meaning
[01:16.337] And this must be the light you saw
[01:19.781] Just as you were leaving
[01:30.194] Leaving
[01:46.695] We walked on the moon
[01:49.923] Like flies on a mule
[01:54.324] We walked on the moon
[01:56.375] Flaws in a jewel
[01:59.809] We are flies on a mule
[02:06.321] And we're good at what we do
[02:17.107] We turn darkness into morning
[02:25.321] We turn belief into evening
[02:32.779] Yeah, we turn darkness into morning
[02:40.932] And we turn belief into evening
