Kick Out the Windows

Summer sky, sleeping since you woke
In pools of streetlight on the ground
Go and find the strangers that you know
Take your glass and drink the poison down

Oh, but we have seen a thing or two
The hills, the city and the sea
And though the stars are many, we are few
It's just the earth, the heavens, you and me

Let's kick out the windows
Let's write on the walls
Climb over the fences
Run down the halls
And the light dying will rage and fight
Go kicking and screaming
Into that good night

Oh, we'll see when the river thaws
Until we rouse this town that never wakes
And we can paint a line across it all
And lead the charge, at least, if not the way

And slowly to the wreckage we will come
There to dye our lives a different shade
And grasp at every ray of sun
To light the shadows we have made

Let's kick out the windows
Write on the walls
Climb over the fences
Run down the halls
And the light dying will rage and fight
Go kicking and screaming
Into that good night

Let us wield our armies and our ships
Under garbage, city streets and power lines
And choose what echoes from our lips
If it's a whisper, or a battle cry

We'll still kick out the windows
Write on the walls
Climb over the fences
Run down the halls
And the light dying will rage and fight
Go kicking and screaming
Into that good night
