SLOBBERBONE
 LIVE ON IN THE DARK

 Once you eyes they shone like flashlights, fountains of clarity
 And the most alkaline of batteries were you and me
 Free of failure, flicker or fade
 Yeah but depending where you're from too much daylight can seem like an oddity
 And devotion is a commodity, so with you it seems
 It only comes in trade
 Yeah but the first time the bill isn't paid, it's too late 

 So you just live in the dark
 You could drive but you just park
 You just talk when you could sing
 And now it doesn't mean a thing
 You could bite, but you just bark
 You could light but you just spark
 You live on in the dark 

 Rolling papers, bottles and needles, and people we trusted
 Our eyes just become too adjusted
 We'd be busted 
 If sightlessness were a crime
 So now I guess I should be searching for matches but I don't see what's the use
 Engines run 'till they're out of juice
 And I can't even produce
 Fuel enough to light your face
 And that's a light I will never replace in time 

 So I just live on in the dark
 I could drive but I just park
 I just talk when I could sing
 And now it doesn't mean a thing
 I could bite, but I just bark
 I could light but I just spark
 I live on in the dark 

 It's as if we've only ever come together just to test each other's mettle
 Or to justify subsistence or bolster our resistance to the idea that we should
struggle
 When we could just settle 

 So you just get numb to every itch
 And there's no feeling in your fingertips
 And you can't find the switch
 And we've grown much too tired to grope
 Yeah, we lost all our fire to cope a long time ago 

 So we just live on in the dark
 We could drive but we just park
 We just talk when we could sing
 And now it doesn't mean a thing
 We could bite but we just bark
 We could light but we just spark
 We live on in the dark
