Come On, Siobhán

(album: The Most Lamentable Tragedy - 2015)

She's walking down the street, she's looking cool
Someone I'd like to speak to after school
Up to the top of the tenement, she's looking sad
The loneliest day that she ever had

Oh come on, come on, Siobhán
Don't shut the door
Come on, come on, Siobhán
The world is yours
Come on, come on, Siobhán
I crossed an ocean for
A pair of eyes in which I could be more
Than fodder for the factory floor
Come on, come on, Siobhán
Come on
Come on, Siobhán

Follow me through the shadows of the stadium
My family always saw me as the crazy one
Yeah, we're just two Catholic kids out on the run
Either from God or a guy with a gun

So come on, come on, Siobhán
I really need you
Come on, come on, Siobhán
I do beseech you
Come on, come on, Siobhán
Forget the teachers
Forget what the priest says
He knows know not what he speaks of

Hear now the voice inside
Nightly it cries and cries
It never told you no lies
The power inside, let it ignite tonight

I know why you would want to hide
When everything's waiting for you right outside
And I know that you've been hurt like a thousand times
And I'm likely a lot like those other guys

But come on, come on, Siobhán
Want you to love me
Come on, come on, Siobhán
To really trust me
Come on, come on, Siobhán
I feel so lucky
Like the best me that I could be
Just seeing you pass on the street

Come on, come on, Siobhán
Come on, come on, Siobhán
We haven't got very long
The future is almost gone
Together we greet the dawn
Together we greet the dawn
Together we greet
We greet, we greet, we greet, we greet
We greet, we greet, we greet, we greet
We greet, we greet, we greet, we greet
We greet, we greet, we greet, we greet
We greet, we greet, we both greet Siobhán

Come on, come on, come on, come on, Siobhán
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Siobhán
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Siobhán
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Siobhán
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Siobhán
Oh, yeah!
