Yellow moon, lamp-light haze

Plastic bags, look like flowers growing

In the yellow light

Sirens serenade

Through the broken heights of the cityscape

The world is ours tonight

All bathed in yellow light

 

Gas lamp flames, dying low

Neon flickering

While the oil drum embers glow

You wear a crown of the Pleiades 

Your hair is dancing in the cold night breeze

The world is ours tonight

All bathed in yellow light

 

Shuttered windows, nailed down door

You find an opening

Where someone has been before

We climb inside of the silent room

Stand side by side in the musty gloom

The walls have closed in tight

Blocking out the yellow light

 

Tear the chipboard from the mantelpiece

Reveal the fireplace behind

Kindle fire with faded magazines

And all the wood that we can find

And soon the room will fill with yellow light

 

Yellow light fills the room

Flames are dancing, in the gloom

 

And now I see you in the ember glow

No time for words no time for games

We dive deep into the undertow

While the world outside goes up in flames

 

Breathing slows, heart beat calms

The one I love, she is lying in my arms

I touch your hand in the yellow light

You murmur low in the city night

 

You’re like a star, shining on

Through the dark hours

But in the morning you’ll be gone

We lie so close in the yellow light

Your skin is gold in the the ember light

Bathe in the yellow light

Bathe in the yellow light

Bathe in the yellow light

Till the cold light of the dawn
