City On Film Astray! Astray!
Tonight we call out to the darkest haunts
wear your nightmares and frightening thoughts
show the face of inner rage
that paste to every lasting page
send it out to foes and friends
they'll never wanna hear your voice again
they say 'when will the madness go away?'
well, maybe tomorrow but not today
So we prep ourselves for party and for play
upon the notions some potions we pray
we'll take away dismay til our dying day
brave.
astray! astray! take my pain away
strike my nights and darken my days
bismal and dismal, so deep in disarray
make me pay
make me pay
ohhh, make me pay.
My lying, cheating days are through!
After, oh, say a good damn decade or two
and now
there's all this drinking to do so
lets toast to a hopeful something true.
Tonight we write down to clear our minds
you'll find in time you'll begin to rely on
exactly what you left behind
truly sorry, that is life.
Remember all the days when we said 'let's drive away'
from all the pain that ferments this place
where we wallow in sorrow, then win first place
what grace.
Astray! astray! take my pain away
strike my nights and darken my days
bismal and dismal, so deep in disarray
make me pay
make me pay.
Astray! astray! take my breath away!
fight most nights and drown all days
Coyly you destroy me
with your evil ways
be gone
and be gone.
