Big Darkness

Dead in the sun and covered in glue
 There is a town where nothing moves
 Nobody works and nobody plays
 And all of their dreams have melted away
 All of their hopes have come and gone
 Even the vultures have moved on
 They say a hero's coming soon
 With ivory lungs like huge balloons
 There ain't no moon and there ain't no stars
 Over the land of endless scars
 Covered in brown and coming undone
 We are what we will not become
 Only a rundown rusty still
 Runs through a town that has no will
 But they say a hero's coming soon
 He's coming to take a giant breath
 Into his lungs and blow away the sun
 I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
 Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
 To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
 Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
 And if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
 'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
 I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
 I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun
 There ain't no heat and there ain't no light
 Only the black hole of our eyes
 Caught in an overcrowded room
 Waiting for its set and two moves
 But out in the distance there's a glow
 That nobody sees so nobody knows
 Well they say a hero's coming soon
 He's coming to take a giant breath of air
 Into his lungs and blow away the sun
 I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
 Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
 To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
 Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
 'Cause if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
 'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
 I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
 I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun
