Verse 1 (w/Fig. 1 & 2)

=======

Drive the road to your surrender

Time comes around... out of my hands

Small boats on the beach at the dead of night

Come and go before first light

Leave me running in the wheel

King of the world

Bridge (w/Fig. 3)

======

How do you feel?

What is there to feel?

Chorus (w/Fig. 4)

======

So how do we now come to be

Afraid of sunlight?

Tell me girl why you and me

Scared of sunlight?

Break

Verse 2 (w/Fig. 1 & 2)

=======

Been in pain for so long

I can't even say what hurts anymore

I will leave you alone

I will deny

Bridge (w/Fig. 3)

======

I will leave you to bleed

I will leave you with your life

Chorus (w/Fig. 4)

======

So how do we now come to be

Afraid of sunlight?

Tell me girl why you and me

Scared of sunlight?

Interlude (w/Fig. 4)

=========

All your spirit rack abuses

Come to haunt you back by day

All your Byzantine excuses

Given time, given you away

Don't be surprised when daylight comes

To find that memory prick your thumbs

You'll tell them where we run to hide

I'm already dead

It's a matter of time

Chorus (w/Fig. 4)

======

So how do we now come to be

Afraid of sunlight

How do we now come to be

Afraid of sunlight*

Outro

=====

Day-Glo Jesus on the dash

Chalk marks on the road ahead

Friendly fire in hostile waters

Keep the faith

Don't lose your head

So how do we now come to be?
