lyrics

Here comes the Black Tide,
Same as the last time,
Same as the first time,
It's never a fun time.

Anchor of my life,
Holding my head down,
Sinking to the ground,
Sinking me to the ground.

You always hope that things will get better,
But they only ever go and get worse.
You can take yourself out of the city,
But can you drag yourself out of the shadows?

People are leaving,
choosing their own way out,
I wish you would have stayed,
but you had to go away

You always hope that things will get better,
But they only ever go and get worse.
You can take yourself out of the city,
But can you drag yourself out of the shadows?

Here comes the evening,
All silk and glitter balls.
It's colder than Moscow,
It's dragging you to it's shores.

You always hope that things will get better,
But they only ever go and get worse.
You can take yourself out of the city,
But you're still going to be the same
So give you're head a little wobble
Get out of the shadows...
