The Librarian Lyrics - Singles - Nine Horses

Keep your head down 

Keep your head down 

While they're firing low 

You're too young child 

To know the difference 

Oh, my pretty 

Oh, my sweet girl 

It's a marvelous place 

They put weights down 

In your coat tails to burn you out 

Lest you fly 

Lest you take off 

And show whomever what's what 

It's one outrageous lie after another 

Turn their lights out 

Change the channel 

Before we lose the heart 

To fight against belief 

In what they're saying 

There's a hotel with a dark room 

At the end of a corridor 

I will meet you 

To the strains of Allah 

We will lie back 

On a pillow of the whitest snow 

And the silence we were promised 

Will engulf us 

Lay your head down 

Keep your head down 

While they're firing low 

You're too young child 

You're too young child 

We will wake up 

From the dreams that bury us 

We will tunnel our way out 

By moonlight 

From the dark room 

To the white streets and the snow banks 

We'll invest in one another's future 

Oh, my pretty 

Oh, my sweet girl 

It's a marvelous place 

She designed it 

With escape routes 

For you and me 

So to the library 

With your new card 

Grab your favorite books 

Look for blueprints 

To the strains of Allah 

Here we go, here we go 

Benevolence is in back 

Of everyplace you look 

It's not a monstrous face 

She is hiding 

If I see her 

I will tell you 

You'll come quickly 

If you see her 

Don't hesitate just go 

But 'til then 

Keep your head down 

Keep your head down 

While they're firing low 

You're too young child 

You're too young child 

You're too young child 

Here we go
