lyrics

Put your guns away, you’ve shot them off two times today
She said meet me at the cabin, then ran away to Montana

Go get your guitar, it’s in the closet upstairs
The one by the fireplace where we used to sit, alright I’ll get it

And when the moon gets high, we’ll make a run for water
Count the footprints that you leave behind and look at me with wild eyes

I am not a boy
I am an animal
I am a spirit of night
I don’t want to see light
I am not a boy
I am an animal
I am a spirit of night
I don’t want to see light

Take your clothes off and settle down
Put that record on that makes me think of freshman year and
Pull your hair to one side and cock your hips to the other side
And let me see the candle dancing in your deep brown iris
There are fireworks outside lighting up the night sky
There’s a blanket of stars, covered in black and draped over the hillside
And did you mean to spill your wine because you know I like
To see you just a little drunk and screaming your sins at the darkness

So ramp the car to ninety and run the gas till empty
And put that station on that plays the songs that we can sing to
There’s an open clearing but fireflies are fleeing
Must be monsters roaming, getting older, eating dreams and
Don’t turn around you’ll see it, don’t close your eyes I need them
Hits you when you least expect it, nineteen seemed so very reckless
Twenty-seven takes you out while twenty-nine chases me down
I do not think that this is how that old age was supposed to catch me

I am not a boy
I am an animal
I am a spirit of night
I don’t want to see light
I was not a boy
I was an animal
I was a spirit of night
I don’t want to see light
