Now, the whole place is dark;
Every light on this side of the town;
Suddenly it all went down

Now we'll all be brothers of
The fossil fires of the sun
Now we will all be sisters of
The fossil blood of the moon

Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock
Now they'll be working in the concrete streets
Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam

In the sirens and the silences now
All those great set-up hearts;
All at once start to beat

After tonight if you don't want it to be
A secret out of the past;
I will resurrect it; have a good look at it
Streak its blood across my beak;
Dust my feathers in its ash
Feel his ghost breathing down my back

I will try, and know whatever I try
I will be gone, but not forever
We will try, and know whatever we try
We'll be gone, but not forever
I will let everything be what it will;
It really is this cold and dark in hell
At least this town's bein' honest with itself;
With some of you, it's gettin' hard to tell

The real truth about it is
Is no one gets it right
The real truth about it is
We're all supposed to try

There's no end to the sands I've been trying to cross;
The real truth about it is
My kind of life's no better off
If I've got the map, or if I'm lost

I only start to taste the dust;
And I forget who I am, and what;
Who I am, and was

There ain't no end to the desert I'll cross;
I've really knew it all along

Mama here comes midnight
With the dead moon in its jaws;
Must be the big star about to fall
Mama here comes midnight
With the dead moon in its jaws;
Must be the big star about to fall
Long dark blues;
Will of the wisp
Long dark blues;
The ageless darkness
Long dark blues;
A big star is falling
Long dark blues

Listen:
Long dark blues;
Through the static and distance

Long dark blues;
A farewell transmission

Long dark blues...
Listen...

Listen...
