Jon Boden - Moths In The Gas Light

People coming, coming from the over-pass

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 wall

The sirens call you to the carnival



I’ll see you when the lights come on

At the carnival tonight

Come marching to the siren song

Like moths in the gas light

I’m going to see you again

I know it’s gonna be alright

We’re gonna dance in the flame

Like moths in the gas light



It’s so funny to be walking down this street again

Don’t know how but I know, I know we’re gonna meet again

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



Ch.



I walk through streets where only dull things are

I’m looking for a neon guiding star

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



Ch.
