Blackout Blues

Album 5: The End is Here!

-Spoken Intro-

City ordinance says lights out by sundown.

So strike a match… if you must.

-Verse 1-

Street went dark at half past nine,

Neon blinked and died,

Moonlight caught the window panes

Where the curtains hide.

Footsteps softer on the stone,

Whispers travel slow—

Hard to tell where fear begins

When shadows grow.

-Chorus-

Got those blackout blues tonight,

Candles burning low,

Every siren in the dark

Sounds like it knows.

Got those blackout blues tonight,

But we’ll make it through,

Play a little swing inside

Till the morning’s blue.

-Verse 2-

Headlights covered, radios hushed,

Paper shades drawn tight,

Every skyline disappears

Without its light.

Someone’s laughin’ down the hall,

Too loud, too long—

Funny how the dark can stretch

A simple song.

-Chorus-

Got those blackout blues tonight,

Windows painted black,

Every boom across the bay

Echoes back.

Got those blackout blues tonight,

But we won’t complain,

Just another little cloud

Before the rain.

-Spoken Bridge-

Funny thing about the dark…

You start to hear yourself think.

-Verse 3-

Kitchen clock ticks louder now,

Though nothing’s changed,

City feels like someone

Rearranged.

Hold your breath when engines pass,

Count to ten real slow—

If you cannot see the sky

It cannot glow.

-Final Chorus-

Got those blackout blues tonight,

Hearts beating light,

Waiting for the dawn to say

We’re alright.

Got those blackout blues tonight…

And still we choose

To hum a little melody

Against the blues.
