Lyrics:  

Out under the stars
  dodging them night cars baby
  cause when you gotta move, you gotta move
  whatever that it was
  you were thinking of lady
  you're certainly not thinking
  of it now,
   
  and nightbirds sing you
  and empty tune
  in an empty house
  in an empty room
  in an empty moment
  all the nightbirds sing
  we were suppose to rise above
  but we sink
   
  I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk
  from a million years
  of lying and getting drunk
   
  the people here inside me
  they are loud and in the night
  they scream and smash the windows
  and they fight
   
  and nightbirds sing you
  and empty tune
  in an empty house
  in an empty room
  with an empty feelings
  when it comes too soon
  were supposed to rise above
  but we sink
  into the sea
