Complicit

Feeling complicit in my steel toes
Take the plant and fruit without a thought
Face the law without a trace of fear
I can’t see the train because I’m the engineer

Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there’s no coming back
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there’s no coming back

All the clocks stop
From then on it was only night
The snow turns black before my eyes
At the end of the mighty white

From then on it was only night
The sun turned black and it was only night

Feeling complicit with my shaved head
Wife’s hand in mine without a thought
All doors are held wide open
No hand on the small of my back

Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there’s no coming back
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there’s no coming back

All the clocks stop
From then on it was only night
The snow turns black before my eyes
At the end of the mighty white

From then on it was only night
The sun turned black and it was only night

We’re all complicit
In this town
We’re all complicit
No one hears a sound

From then on it was only night
The sun turned black and it was only night
