(Oh shit, I'm sorry)

[phrase below repeats throughout song]
Ha, ha, ha, ha, fly away

Ice
Your only rivers run cold
These city lights
They shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal

Walk on by
Walk on through
Walk 'til you run
And don't look back
For here I am

Carnival
The wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol
Red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face
In a dry and waterless place

Walk on by
Walk on through
So sad to besiege your love so head on
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I...
I think you know
Come on take me away
Come on take me home
Come on take me home
Home again

(Don't, don't, don't, don't push me)
(Don't push me here)
(Push so far)

And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I

Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
Ever after, it's loving time
And if you save your love
Save it all

Don't push me too far
Don't push me too far
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
