here they come

Hamilton Leithauser

The lights are coming on
And all your candy's gone
Spinning through the previews
Flipping through the seats
Popcorn in your loafers
Sugar in your teeth

You say the lovers in your life
Should listen to you more
Well you can tell that to the usher
Showing you the door
All the lights are on
And all my candy's gone

I was a fool
I was blind
I kept my eyes shut half the time
All the lights
One by one
Here they come

On a sparking subway train
Breaking through a tunnel underneath Broadway
With one arm waving wild at some kids on the other side
And one arm on my shoulder
Wrapped around my shoulder

I was a fool
I was blind
I kept my eyes shut half the time
All the lights
One by one
Here they come

Take the hand that's reaching towards you
When the shadow stands before you
Arm and arm with a uniform
Gonna swing you right through the front door

I was a fool
I was blind
I kept my eyes shut half the time
All the lights
One by one
Here they come

I was a fool
I was blind
I kept my eyes shut half the time
All the lights
One by one
