Vigilantes of Love
Avalanche
[Verse 1]
Winter's quiet loneliness
Wraps itself against my will
It's a coat that's a bit tattered
But it's keeping out the chill
Sure, my mean condition
Is entirely my own choice
But I just can't help but smile
Whenever I hear your voice
[Verse 2]
The pill was hard to swallow
But not quite as bitter as before
Hey, maybe it means I'm growing harder
I would be the last to know
God, I wish that I was innocent, I wish I was innocent
At least I think I do
If I had her as a gift to bring
I would bring that gift to you
[Chorus]
Here comes the avalanche
All my path is covered
Leave a light on for the lovers
[Verse 3]
"Mercy": there's a word
We could drown in every moment
Splash across the rocks at 5 p.m
If I can count on my components
No, no, this potion won't help anyone, won't help anyone
To try and tell the truth
No, no, that key, it won't unlock the door
To this prison cell or womb
[Chorus]
Here comes the avalanche
All my path is covered
Leave a light on for the lovers
Leave a light on for the lovers
[Verse 4]
I have a picture
Wish it was a photograph
You were holding little children
Right there upon your lap
It's never cold in that picture
As far as I can tell
Outside, outside, the rain has changed to snow
And it's frozen in the well
[Chorus]
Here comes the avalanche
All my path is covered
Leave a light on for the lovers
Oh, oh
Leave a light on for the lovers
Oh, oh, oh
Leave a light, leave a light for the lovers
Oh, oh
Leave a light, leave a light for the lovers
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
