lyrics

You got a way with numbers when you know they're counting on you.
Disappointment ain't a figure when you know your aim is true

In the labyrinth,in the shadows, there they lay and wait.
Bring your wits and bring your gun. Now, don't you hesitate.

Off we go. So far away. We're wide-eyed with wonder.
Off we go. So far away. We're wide eyed with wonder.

When everything here doesn't feel quite right, but we keep on walking though the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.
We keep on moving through the pain and fright. Keep on sailing through the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.

You got a way with cover when you know they're shooting at you.
The volley hit the deck and under. We swam into the water so blue.

In the labyrinth in the shadows. There they lay and wait.
You brought your wits. hold up your gun now. No we can't be late.

Off we go. So far away. We're wide-eyed with wonder.
Off we go. So far away. We're wide eyed with wonder.

When everything here doesn't feel quite right, but we keep on walking though the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.
We keep on moving through the pain and fright. Keep on sailing through the cold dark night.
We both know where the wild things go.
