Yellow moon, lamp-light haze
Plastic bags, look like flowers growing
In the yellow light
Sirens serenade
Through the broken heights of the cityscape
The world is ours tonight
All bathed in yellow light
Gas lamp flames, dying low
Neon flickering
While the oil drum embers glow
You wear a crown of the Pleiades
Your hair is dancing in the cold night breeze
The world is ours tonight
All bathed in yellow light
Shuttered windows, nailed down door
You find an opening
Where someone has been before
We climb inside of the silent room
Stand side by side in the musty gloom
The walls have closed in tight
Blocking out the yellow light
Tear the chipboard from the mantelpiece
Reveal the fireplace behind
Kindle fire with faded magazines
And all the wood that we can find
And soon the room will fill with yellow light
Yellow light fills the room
Flames are dancing, in the gloom
And now I see you in the ember glow
No time for words no time for games
We dive deep into the undertow
While the world outside goes up in flames
Breathing slows, heart beat calms
The one I love, she is lying in my arms
I touch your hand in the ember light
You murmur low in the city night
You're like a star, shining on
Through the dark hours
But in the morning you'll be gone
We lie so close in the yellow light
Your skin is gold in the the ember light
Bathe in the yellow light
Bathe in the yellow light
Bathe in the yellow light
Till the cold light of the dawn
