about

Love locks, they call ‘em. You see them on fences, overpasses, bridges. In Paris, Amsterdam, or in your own city.

lyrics

I’ll take my chances
With the chain link fences
In the padlocked night
In the padlocked night
I see through the diamond light

And all the dumb blood in my lungs
It runs and runs and runs and runs away
Under the moon-white glow
Whisper down your telephones
Say goodnight
To the lies you cling to
So tight

I’ll take my chances
With the chain link fences
In the padlocked night
In the padlocked night
I see through the diamond light

The diamond light
The diamond light
I dreamed I was with you
I needed you last night
I wish you were near
You were here with me tonight

It’s a 24 second car crash
It’s a cigarette ash in a flannel lap
It’s the poetry of trashcans
It’s a lazy labored lake drag

I’ll take my chances
With the chain link fences
In the padlocked night
In the padlocked night
I see through the diamond light

The diamond light
The diamond light
The diamond light
