Destroyer - My Mystery

Copied!

I fell in. I fell hard
I put my notice in at Scotland Yard
And from the suicide towers to the county fair
I chased the girl with that shit in her hair
I woke up in the sand
I told the manager, I told the band
That you can never really ever go home again
Yes, it's as simple as that

I was doing my best in a world full of wreckage
I was doing my impressions of a blind man
When Apocalypse Shadow Walkin takes the stage
And says "Babe, I'll do whatever I can..."
I'll do whatever I can!

You're lost in the lighthouse
You're lost at sea
You're lost in the lighthouse
You're lost at sea
That's my mystery...

Saw you inside of the depressing cafe
Waving at the world walking by
Uranium lights up the sky
Of this particular world...

I've conducted business in a lot of places
Seen people keep death in their wine-sloshed eyes
There's an ocean running deep
A mountain getting high
A river wondering why she's gotta go...

You're lost in the lighthouse
You're lost at sea
That's my mystery...
