Lyrics

Quarter moon
On a city growing thick
With good advice that won't stick
From the ballrooms to the suburbs
Abandoned mines
Atlantis may be rising but
We're all out of time

The colored lights
On the fire escape
And bodies move behind drapes
And the light isn't even
And we're safer in pairs
We're no match, for what is waiting
For each of us out there

Whistle baby, while we walk
Don't say anything, do not talk
The journey is over, it is time to exhale
Wherever we were going, we're already there

So over the turnstyles
Through the guard rails
And into washington square
'Cause no amount of nightmares
Will ever compare
To the thought of only silence
In this ghost-filled air

Whistle baby, while we walk
Don't say anything, do not talk
The journey is over, it's too late to prepare
Why can't you see that baby, we're already there

Here comes your silhouette
More pillow talk
Here comes the ticking of these clocks
They say the quickest way to end
A war is just to lose
Another chamber locks
And I already withdrew

Here comes the booming
In the hunger of each night
Here comes the burden of might
Now this day was not divinely
Made to leave you impressed
We may become someone someday
But we haven't yet

Whistle baby, while we walk
Don't say anything, do not talk
The journey is over, it is time to repair
Whatever we were building..... baby
We're already there

We're already there
We're already there
