lyrics

The cops got the call
Like nails on a blackboard
I was asleep
In the midst of a back rub
Holding it in til the dream woke you up quick

It was 5 in the morning
When they finally escaped
To the latin bodega
Next to your old place
Where they hid in the women's room
Hid between rows full of plastic bags
Filled with sugar and sadness

Don't leave me alone tonight
Don't let me stay inside out of fear
When there's candles drying out faces of tears
By the thousands
Cause they're with us in memory
They're with us in Paris and New York
The colors that spring when it rains
Are brighter than any cloud full of hate
Could contain

We're told to be vigilant
Totally aware
Of the enemy's face
Wherever it appears
So I'm keeping my cuffs up
Keeping 'em arms length away

But then all that I see
When I look over my shoulder
Are strangers joining hands
With each other in harmony
Proud to be human
Proud to be one in the same
At the end of the day

Your tragedy tells you that you're the only one
But we're not the only ones left
You look at me as if we're the only ones
Just turn around though, babe
See the crowd at the lake
They all ache like you
Say the same thing

Don't leave me alone tonight
Don't let me stay inside out of fear
When there's candles
Drying out faces of tears by the thousands
Cause they're with us in memory
They're with us in Prague and the Ukraine
The colors that spring when it rains
Are brighter than any cloud full of hate
Could contain

(Don't leave me alone tonight)
They're with us in Paris and New York
The colors that spring when it rains
Are brighter than any cloud full of hate
Could contain
