Complicit Lyrics

Feeling complicit in my steel toes (and it echoes, it echoes)
Take the plant and fruit without a thought (on and on and on and on)
Face the law without a trace of fear (and it echoes, it echoes)
I can't see the train 'cause I'm the engineer (on and on and on and on)

Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back

All the clocks stop
From then on it was only night
The snow turns black before my eyes
At the end of the mighty white

From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night
From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night

Only night
Only night

Feeling complicit with my shaved head (and it echoes, it echoes)
Wife's hand in mine without a thought (on and on and on and on)
All doors are held wide open (and it echoes, it echoes)
No hand on the small of my back (on and on and on and on)

Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back

All the clocks stop
From then on it was only night
The snow turns black before my eyes
At the end of the mighty white

From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night
From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night

We're all complicit
In this town
We're all complicit
No one hears a sound

From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night
From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night
From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night
From then on it was only night
The sun went black and it was only night
