Jetfuel from Duskdawn by CARTHAGE

Why's the sky falling, in this area?

Time's crawling... and more next in line.

Jetfuel kept me up all night.

Turned on the plastic arclight.

Unscrewed now holding line by line.


I gave you, accustomed to

'It's not down to what you want to do'

No thought in mine the heart resides

The next in line.


It's a sound, a sound I'm falling

It's a sound

Let me out let me out I'm calling.

Let the bright stars call back in.

Let the bright ones in.

Not the last time faded.

Left out on the threshold.

I'm so closed in.



Why's the sky falling, in this area?

All the nights are crawling... come next in line.


Jetfuel kept me up all night.

Turned on the plastic park light.

Learned the script now orderly

line by line

Echoing down through time.


I gave you, accustomed to

'enclosed on every hour'.

In thoughts of mine a heart resides.


For the last time fading.

Left out on the threshold.



Why's the night so dim?


I'm driving all night in a blue exposure

In clear in fear a closure.

Until the fight is gone within


Sit down and let me in

Till the light grows dim

Let that falling calling all.

Why's the light so thin?

Why'd you let them in?

Why's the light so dim?

Why'd you look so thin?

Why's the light so dim?

Why'd you let them in?
