Free the Pterodactyl 3

Now the rain was laced with pity
The beaches met the coastal roads
The street lamps led the blind into the city
Fast asleep
And the wind carried the curses
Of collisions in the darkness
And the accidental crunch of darryl's purses
Wonderful
I was thinking who out of us all I thought would grow up
And just how right and wrong I'd been
In equal measure she is buried treasure
She is born
'Cause butterflies will die towards the end of summer years
And apparently she's just ignoring
Them a friend, he put it cynically

If I understood, then I could understand
If I understood, then I could understand

These blue eyes grow ageless
The sky feels contagious
When the stars recall spots
On those teenagers' faces
Who come down here after dark
To learn how to fall apart
To dance with the devil
Till they've become free of God's will again

We have surnames for the taking
But the girls don't understand the men
With guilt the shape of local police stations
And the last train home
She settled down and said goodnight
Never said goodnight and went out
In a blaze of glory in a bar room
Full of history, hope and pity

If I understood, then I could understand
If I understood, then I could understand

These blue eyes grow ageless
The sky feels contagious
When the stars recall spots
On those teenagers' faces
Who come down here after dark
To learn how to fall apart
To dance with the devil
Till they've become free of God's will

These blue eyes grow ageless
The sky feels contagious
If you were the stars
That means I was the places that we went
