Where am I tonight, la da da

My hotel room won't remember me

And this dream will die

Die by morning

And this dream will not remember me

Wakened by a droning voice

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

Is it a lady or is it a man

Humming helicopters through the blades of a fan

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

On my feet to chase it down

A light switch spooks and runs away

I stumble back and hit the floor

Long shadows crawl beneath the door

To a passage so poorly lit

There's moths flying away from it

Oh oh oh oh oh

Who am I tonight, la da da

My hotel room won't remember me

Darkness

Enter prison girls

Pushing mops and kicking pails

Now's my chance

I clasp my chest

And declare unto my audience

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

Prison girls are not impressed

They're the ones who have to clean this mess

They've traded more for cigarettes

Than I've managed to express

Oh oh oh oh oh

Filing past miles along

My cheek is frozen

To the floor

The prison girls have filled their beds

Their socks to dry above their heads

I wear them in the morning

I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes

Neko's melodies and lyrical imagery keep getting more and more complex with each album. She's come so far from her Virginian days, and I do feel that sometimes her increasingly experimental and obscure lyrics work against her, but when she gets it right, she nothing short of genius. It's amazing to see how every album gets stronger and weirder than the one that came before. I can't wait for the follow-up to Middle Cyclone!!!

Absolutely one of my favorite songs to listen to, play and sing along to or recommend to anyone open to such sophisticated and haunting songwriting.

This woman is amazing. Her lyrics are fresh, and her voice is like something deep in your soul is trying to come alive.

"To a passage so poorly lit there's moths flying away from it."--and every other line in this song--my god this is a masterpiece. Why is it that only us few are seeing this?

@element7795 I'd recommend "Things that Scare Me," "I Wish I Was the Moon Tonight," "Polar Nettles," and "Vengeance is Sleeping." She's got tons of good stuff, but those are a few of my favorites. 1st and 3rd are similar to this song in terms of mood.

This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever heard. It simultaneously makes me a little sad and yet very happy to be alive too.
