Lights Out For Darker Skies
British Sea Power
Do You Like Rock Music? (2008)

Oh, lights out, baby, for darker skies

There really is no reason that you need to ask why

When you fall like sparks from the muzzle, oh

Like moths that get confused by all the man-made moves

So go gently in this dark, dark night



When something's wrong you know and it just ain't
right

And you dance like sparks from the muzzle, oh

And you fall like sparks from the muzzle, hey



Welcome for the day or stay forever

There's things which we all need to navigate

Daisy chains of lights around the city now

You glow but never quite illuminate



Hell [Incomprehensible] water, won't stop us now

The future's twisted, righteousness is coming back around



Oh, we fall like sparks from the muzzle, oh

Unless two thousand seven

Becomes a pitch black heaven

Oh, stop acting like you're my best friend



When you don't know why

And you don't care how it ends

And you dance like sparks from the muzzle, oh

And you fall like sparks from the muzzle, hey



Welcome for the day or stay forever

There's things which we all need to navigate

Daisy chains of lights around the city now

And they glow but never quite illuminate



So dance like sparks from the muzzle

So dance like sparks from the muzzle, hey

Oh, oh



And we were lit by kerosene

And we were lit by acetylene

And we walked under neon skies

You know it made me wonder why



Why all the frequencies combine

And form a cleaner, brighter light

And we filled our florescent sails

It led to sodium-scarred wailing weeks



Hey, now, now

Oh, the future's bright

Oh, hey, now, now

A history of light



Repeat now, now

Because you know it's right

Oh, hey, now, now

A history of light



Repeat now, now

Oh, the future's bright

Oh, hey, now, now

A history of light



Hey, now, now

Because you know it's right

Oh, hey, now, now

A history of light



You know it's right

You know it's right

You know it's right

You know it's right

You know it's
