In Capitals

There was a girl, as old as the river
But pretty and sharp like you wish you could be
Seduced each of yr boyfriends a long time before you
Somebody call an ambulance, I just murdered a party
But don’t tell me that romance is dead too

Oh!
It was a fragment, kinda lost sight when the tracks bent
And the crowds moved in like the sea and you were drowned to me
I think you are the pale haze of the morning
You as the spark I want, you are the glance I caught
Everyone’s a story, everybody’s late for something

[Pre-Chorus]
Back in the real world, where the power works and the witches tear up their losses over the bridge
I question your beliefs, but I’m in awe and I want in on this

[Chorus]
These words you’ll never surrender, can’t hide in fiction forever
I write our luck in capitals

Oh!
From the shard to the shore, the city dances to death and taxes
I've done my edgework, I know yr signatures
I wish you were a stranger I could talk to
We could shut that door, we could chant those names
Everyone’s a secret, everybody’s hiding something

[Pre-Chorus]
Back in the real world, where the brickwork sprawls and the concrete climbs to stars you’ll never see
You ask me what I need?
Well I've seen "down", now I want "underneath"

[Chorus]
These words you’ll never surrender, can’t hide in fiction forever
I write our luck in capitals
And I’m still waiting

[Bridge]
There is no hidden door at Leinster Gardens
There is no London Below
So

[Chorus]
These words you’ll never surrender, can’t hide in fiction forever
I write our luck in capitals
And I’m still waiting
