Out on the Ropes Songtext
von The Shirts

It′s getting dark
The final arch of color grows stark
Remember when they were so hot they'd spark
But now they are cold

When the nights grow long
And color looses all their glow
You can be the only hand
The only hope

Come and give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn′t any time
You told me so


Sometimes you seem so hard to find, so hard to leave
Wanna turn my head around and go to sleep
But through the cellar door,
You come and throw me on the floor
Then I can hear all of those sounds I heard before

You come and give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn't any time
You told me so

Come and give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn't any time
You told me so


Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
(You know you told me so
You told me so)
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn′t any time
You told me so
