Lyrics Alkaline Trio – Blackout

Don’t you ask me to come out
When the sun does shine
Let us stay here with curtains drawn
In darkness you’ll be mine

Let’s wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let’s wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Well welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through
When darkness falls again, my friend
We’ll both know what to do

Let’s wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let’s wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Come walk with me upon the earth
That keeps us both alive
No living thing has lasted here
Yet we can both survive

Let’s wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let’s wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

In darkness there is no sin
Light only brings in fear
Nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here
At first you may find it strange
But please don’t go away

There is no vision here
There is no vision here
