Moths in the Gas Light

People coming, coming from the overpass
They come running, running through the shattered glass
Under the constellation of Orion
Their feet are beating like a drum
The city swallows the setting sun
The ties that bind come undone
The flames are dancing on the city walls
The siren calls you to the carnival

I'll see you when the lights come on
At the carnival tonight
Come marching to the siren's song
Like moths in the gas light
I'm gonna see you again
I know it's gonna be all right
Gonna dance in the flame
Like moths in the gas light

It's so funny to be walking down the street again
Don't know how, but I know, I know we're gonna meet again
All under the constellation of Orion
I smell saltpetre in the air
The fumes are clinging to my hair
The silent watchers turn to stare
I don't know if you really feel the same
I don't know if you even know my name

But I'll see you when the lights come on
At the carnival tonight
Come marching to the siren's song
Like moths in the gas light
I'm gonna see you again
I know it's gonna be all right
Gonna dance in the flame
Like moths in the gas light

I walk through streets where only dark things are
I'm looking for a neon guiding star
All under the constellation of Orion
All under the constellation of Orion
I don't know if you really feel the same
I don't know if you even know my name

But I'll see you when the lights come on
At the carnival tonight
Come marching to the siren's song
Like moths in the gas light
I'm gonna see you again
I know it's gonna be all right
Gonna dance in the flame
Like moths in the gas light
I'm gonna see you again
I know it's gonna be all right
Gonna dance in the flame
Like moths in the gas light
