lyrics

Good evening Sir!
Where are we gonna go?
Yes, we’re weird,
It’s a long time we’re not on the rails anymore.
We’re not machines, but we can break
What do we need to fix us up, do you know sir?

I’m still too far away from knowing why
I am sitting with me as a child
She’s growing up against her will
She lives in a world made of notes and butterflies
But she stands in the dark, and she cries too much
Now she’s grown, it’s not long since she became a moth.

The more the light is hard to reach,
The more the more she’s gonna try.
The more the light is hard to reach,
The more the more she’s gonna try.

Don’t give up,
You know the exit is on the other side
But you can’t take your eyes off the light.
Fly fly far,
And you’ll fall.
To live or to die but please in that light.
In that light.

Good evening sir!
I know where I’ll go!
Not too far away from the bright neon lights
In your bathroom or in a hospital
We’re animals of the night but we’ve got dreams too!
Let us believe until some spiders will come
To suck our blood and have some fun

Don’t give up,
You know the exit is on the other side
But you can’t take your eyes off the light.
Fly fly far,
And you’ll fall.
To live or to die but please in that light.
In that light.

We’re animals of the night, let us fly, let us fly.
We’re animals of the night, let us fly, let us fly.
