Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come on down from your ledge
With your pretty wings spread
Fly me through the steel towered night
When the cold air bites
When the alley cats fight
All the normals have shut off their lights
[Verse 2]
I'll hold tight to your lay upons
Your pantyhose will start to run
But everybody's looking to the sky
Nighthawks coming alive
[Verse 3]
Let me in, let me in, let me underneath your skin
Oh, it will break my little heart
Where the sun slowly comes to the east side of the stars
It's gonna break, it's gonna break
It's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
[Verse 4]
On the westside it's dim, a trace of places you have been
Sing it out like a vampire's hymn
Everything sets a jinx
Just a smile and a wink
Will go a long, long way tonight
[Verse 5]
Oh, I know that your little girl was sleeping in the other room
While everybody looks the other way
Nighthawks coming out to play
[Verse 6]
Let me in, let me in, let me underneath your skin
Oh, it will break my little heart
Where the sun slowly comes to the east side of the stars
It's gonna break, it's gonna break
It's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
[Verse 7]
It's a quick buzzkill
So you pop another pill
Roll your eyes like it's so blasé
She's a stunner, you're a taker
She's a muse, she's a faker
And you like it that way
[Verse 8]
Baby, save me from myself
Baby, save me from myself
[Verse 9]
Let me in, let me in, let me underneath your skin
Oh, it will break my little heart
Where the sun slowly comes to the east side of the stars
It's gonna break, it's gonna break
It's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
[Verse 10]
It's gonna break, it's gonna break
It's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart
It's gonna break my little heart
It's gonna break my heart
