The Lunatic's Laugh

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

The banjo plays

So still and stark

Every pluck flays

The void plays its part

Pre-Chorus

With a mystical stutter

That persistently stays

Flute breaks to flutter

All its might on display

Chorus

See the starlight

Shine

Watch the dew harden to glass

Heard a howling whine

Of a lunatic's laugh

Post-Chorus

Starlight

Starlight

Verse 2

The reservoir runs quiet

Down a wire of steel

And a flame runs riot

With something real

Pre-Chorus

Two days of silence spread

Pattern and love unknown

Till the ash and wind were read

And the heart had grown

Chorus

See the starlight

Shine

Watch the dew harden to glass

Heard a howling whine

Of a lunatic's laugh

Post-Chorus

Starlight

Starlight

Breakdown

Frozen mid-air

A heartbeat at rest

One spark to declare

What is never guessed

Bridge

Candle keeps her light

Steady through the haze

And I keep it right

Through the razor phrase

Chorus

See the starlight

Shine

Watch the dew harden to glass

Heard a howling whine

Of a lunatic's laugh

Post-Chorus

Starlight

Starlight
