Go tonight (The Mad Ones)

SAM​:
What? You think it’s gonna bite?

KELLY​:
If we’re gonna go, we gotta go tonight - go tonight
Go tonight
If we’re gonna go, we’re gotta go tonight - go tonight
Go tonight

SAM
She was - She was - sitting on the roof of her beat-up car,
half-singing, half-laughing, half-going too far.
The music played over, with nothing to come
in a remix of mem'ry, the loop of the - drum
or bass line... or was it…

KELLY​:
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight. Go tonight. Go tonight.
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight. Go tonight.
Go tonight.

SAM​:
She was - She was - everything I'm not, my whole universe.
And I was a footnote, a slim second verse.
But she was the chorus, the hook and the groove
and without her there pushing somehow i can't - move.

So I sit in the car that she left behind,


And I sink in this void like a crater.
Getting lost in a world that I can't rewind.
It's too late and it's just getting later.

KELLY​:
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight. Go tonight.

SAM​:
Why did I say no?

KELLY​:
If we're gonna gonna go, we gotta go tonight.
SAM​:
We had miles to go.

KELLY​:
Go -

SAM​:
You were mad to reach, mad to drive.
Mad, mad and so alive.
The space you left, the empty air.
I reach, reach but you're not there.

And time expands. The beat goes on.


You were mad, mad and now you're -

SAM​:
She was - She was -

BOTH​:
Oh

KELLY​:
Go -

SAM​:
Over and over
Your words to me echo.

KELLY​:
Go tonight.

SAM​:
Go tonight.

KELLY​:
Go.

SAM​:
Over and over
as I try to let go…

There's a black hole, a vacuum, in deep outer space,


that swallows all matter without any trace,
where life is suspended in physics and time.
Every word you said hangs like an unfinished - rhyme.
So I sit in the vacuum you left behind
and i sift through each phrase for an ember -
For a spark that will light 'cause I can't rewind.
I unravel until I remember

Sitting on the roof of your beat-up car,


When I was your orbit and you were my star.
But now you're a black hole and I am left numb
From the loop of these mem'ries, the loop of the - the loop of the - the loop of the -
