Scale lyrics

by Interpol





I have a sequin for an eye,
Pick a rose and hide my face.
This is a bandit's life, it comes and goes
And them's the brakes.

Under a molten sky, beyond the road we lie in wait.
You think they know us now?
Wait 'til the stars come out.

You see that I made you
And now I take you back.
It's too late but today,
I can define the lack.

I made you and now I take you back.

Son, you sleep in clouds of fire,
That's all and that's right.
My son, you sleep in clouds of fire,
That's all and that's right.

I can still feel it when you lie
Pick a rose just to hide my face.
Well if there's something I should know
I seek no science where there is no shade.

Under a molten sky, let the days collide.
Well I made you and now I take you back.

Son, you sleep in clouds of fire,
That's all and that's right.
My son, you sleep in clouds of fire,
That's all and that's right.
