The Penalty Songtext
von Beirut

Like an ancient day, and I′m on trial
Let them seize away
This once was an island

And I could not stay
For I believed them
Left for the lights, always in season


Impossible night
In a crowd of homesick fully grown children
You'll leave the lights
Your family may not wait sir
Keep on breathing
Our parents rue the day they find us kneeling oh
Let them think what they may
For they′ve good reason
Left for the lights, always in season
