The Boxer Lyrics - In This Light & On This Evening - Editors

A bruised full moon play fights with the stars 

This place is our prison 

Its cells are the bars 

So take me to town 

I wanna dance with the city 

Show me something ugly, 

and show me something pretty 

Damn this place makes a boy out of me 

The ring meets my face by the count of three

An unwanted sun pulls rank in the sky 

The boxer isn't finished 

He's not ready to die 

I'm attracted to the light 

I'm attracted to the heat 

It's a violent night 

There are boxers in the street 

Damn this place makes a boy out of me 

The ring meets my face by the count of three 

And damn this place makes a boy out of me 

The ring meets my face I'm a fallen oak tree
