Daylight

(song from 2007)

Can you feel it creep--
The star-studded beast
that's covered half the West in chains
and now it turns to the East?

Can you hear its call--
fire spikes, brass horns, and all?
It bids you drop down to the ground-
you're going down, down, down...

(chorus)
Some still see the star of Bethlehem shining.
Sometimes it's overhead, and sometimes so far away.
And all of those who think they know will be writing
the daylight keeps breaking down.

They're turning up the heat.
They're targeting the teens.
You gotta have the right look, right phone,
you gotta own the right pair of jeans.

The writing's on the wall.
The signs are in the sky.
And signs are all we see these days,
they say "Buy!" and "Buy!" and "Buy!".

(chorus)
But some still see the star of Bethlehem shining.
Sometimes it's overhead, and sometimes so far away.
And all of those who think they know will be writing
the daylight keeps breaking down.

(bridge)
What are you waiting for, gun-shy baby?
You're never far away from what you can truly love.
They'll kill the fatted calf
and pour the best carafe
the day that you decide to come home,
to come home,
to come home.

Can you feel it creep?
Can you feel it creep?
Can you feel it creep?
