The National
The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness (Live at Berkeley 9/25/18)
[Verse 1]
Maybe I listen more than you think
And I can tell that somebody sold you
We said we'd never let anyone in
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets

[Chorus]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talking to God

[Verse 2]
I thought that this would all work out after a while
Now you’re saying that I'm asking for too much attention
Also no other faith is light enough for this place
We said we'd only die of lonely secrets

[Chorus]
The systеm only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from mе?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talking to God

[Post-Chorus]
I can't explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The system only dreams in total darkness
Why are you hiding from me?
We're in a different kind of thing now
All night you're talking to God

[Post-Chorus]
And I cannot explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
I cannot explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
I can’t explain it, oh
Any other, any other way
I can’t explain it, oh
Any other, any other way

[Spoken: Matt Berninger]
Where are you going if this is your last show?
You quitting the sorrow squad?
Oh, you're gator gang
You’re in both clubs?
Is that legal?
Wait a second, there's something going on down in the front between
Nevermind
