While Kansas City sleeps

I'm cloaked in the twilight of this valley

Not just churches lined with roadside poetry

I could drive into the most desolate seclusions

My black hair secrets still engrossing you

And why don't we say what we really feel?

Whenever things are at their best

Whatever lies will help you rest

Whenever things are at their best

Why do we wait for them fall apart?

Fall apart

Wake up to the aftertaste

Of cheap wine and bad decisions

My heart trembles in this modern glow

I could shield my eyes from these innermost seductions

But still somehow you will find me there

Why don't we say what we really feel?

Whenever things are at their best

Whatever lies will help you rest

Whenever things are at their best

Why do we wait for them fall apart?

And it's probably safe to say

I'm not the worlds safest bet

I've never been too good at being good

And it's probably safe to say

Whenever things are at their best

Whatever lies will help you rest

Whenever things are at their best

Why do we wait for them fall apart?

Whenever things, whenever things

Whenever things are at their best

Why do we wait for them fall apart?
