Ill Lit Ships

(album: Bright Black Heaven - 2012)

They're coming out to find you,
and they don't even know your name.
No matter what they tell you,
you never will be clean again
So lie to us and just say that there's never emotion in all that you give away.
They're coming out to find you,
and they won't even ask your name,
but they will recognize you.
Girls like you are all the same.

So you say this room is just for one night,
but they never will let you go.
Just let them come inside,
and this never will let you go,
no it never will let you go.
As you smile it hurts me so,
that this never will let you go.

Just what is looking for you?
Do you like what they have found.
Two nights are now behind you.
And you can't even live one down.
So smile at me and just say that it's worth every break on those.
Strange to not know when you wake,
will I wake beside you?
I'll be the last to know your name.
I'll be the last to want to be seen with you at light of day

Didn't you say this room is just for one night,
but they never will let you go.
Just let them come inside,
and this never will let you go,
no it never will let you go.
As you smile it hurts me so
As you smile it hurts me
oh, your smile it hurts me.
'Cause I still clearly can see who you are.

(How could you) How could you let them buy you?
(How could you) How could you let them buy you?
(How could you) How could you let them buy you?
(How could you) Why did you let them?

This room is just for one night,
but they never will let you go.
Just let them come inside,
and you'll never forget this.
This room is just for one night,
but they never will let you go.
Just close those hopeful eyes,
and this never will let you go.
No, it never will let you go.
As you smile it hurts me so,
but this never will let you go.

No it never will let you...
