lyrics

We keep the lights on here past midnight, you should know
But it don’t matter ‘cause you won’t need sleep no more
The party’s endless and there ain’t no place to go
But if you need it, man, we’ve got it

Don’t lift a finger, friend, our days are only holy
Yes, every joke is clean and every bite’s ambrosia
And all the sinners that were hankering to know you
They are gone but not forgotten

Ten thousand years of sunshine
Ten thousand years of moonlight
But I would trade each moment of this time for you
And our seven days of rain, our seven days of rain

They come in when it’s evening and their little wad is shot
They come in in the morning when loving’s all they’ve got
Some with their alibis and some without a thought
And some, like you, just hoping for a remedy

Osiris plays the bouncer and Orpheus plays the blues
Try not to notice but he only knows one tune
We’ve been trying to turn him on ever since she turned him loose
But still we can’t erase that muscle memory

After ten thousand years of sunshine
Ten thousand years of water gone to wine
Ten thousand angels in the exit line to you
To claim their seven days of rain, their seven days of rain

So, if you want me, I’ll be haunting by the bar
If you enjoyed the tour, fill out our comment card
And, on behalf of the trustees and of the guards,
I welcome you to this little slice of certainty

To ten thousand years of sunshine
Ten thousand years of moonlight
But I would trade each moment of this time for you
And our seven days of rain, our seven days of rain
First, forty days and forty nights
Just wandering our desert lives
Then seven days, those seven days
Those seven days, those seven dreams
And now I wake
