Lyrics

The city crouches, steaming In the early morning half-light The sun is still a rumour And the night is still a threat Slipping through the dark streets And the echoes and the shadows Something stirs behind me And my palms begin to sweat Sometimes I freeze Until the light comes Sometimes I fly Into the night Sometimes I fight Against the darkness Sometimes I'm wrong And sometimes I'm right Coiled for the spring, or caught like a creature in the headlights Into a desperate panic, or a tempest of blind fury Like a cornered beast, or a conquering hero The menace threatens, closing And I'm frozen in the shadows I'm not prepared to run away And I'm not prepared to fight I can't stand to reason or surrender to a reflex I will trust my instincts or surrender to my fright Sometimes we freeze Until the light comes Sometimes we're wrong And sometimes we're right Sometimes we fight Against the darkness Sometimes we fly Into the night Blood running cold, mind going down into a dark night Of a desperate panic, or a tempest of blind fury Like a cornered beast, or a conquering hero Sometimes I freeze Sometimes I fly Sometimes I freeze Until the light comes Sometimes I fly Into the night Into the night Into the night
