Lyrics
Come on down from the ledge
With your pretty wings spread
Fly me through the steel towered night
When the cold air bites
When the alleycats fight
All the normals are shutting off their lights
I'll hold tight to your Leia buns
Your pantyhose will start to run
But everybody's looking to the sky
Nighthawks coming alive

Let me in
Let me in
Let me underneath your skin
Or it will break my little heart
When the sun
Slowly comes
to the east side of the slum
It's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart

Now the west side is dim
Retrace the places you have been
sing it out like a vampire's hymn
If he thinks it's a jinx
just a smile and a wink
will go a long, long way tonight
oh I know that your little girl
Is sleeping in the other room
but everybody looks the other way
Nighthawks coming out to play

Let me in
Let me in
Let me underneath your skin
Or it will break my little heart
When the sun
Slowly comes
to the east side of the slum
It's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart

It's a quick buzz kill
So you pop another pill
Roll your eyes like it's so blasé
She's a stunner, you're a taker
She's amused, she's a faker
and you like it that way
baby, save me from myself
baby, save me from myself

Let me in
Let me in
Let me underneath your skin
Or it will break my little heart
When the sun
Slowly comes
to the east side of the slum
It's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break, it's gonna break my little heart

Was searching for the city Whitehorse, YT (Yukon Territory) and this happen to be near the top of the results. Not what I was looking for but enjoyed it all the same.

[graceschultz]

Can't stop playing this song! SO good.

[richardleonard]

Great tune, has a July Talk feel to it.

[tprime]

Real music. It will never get the limelight it deserves because of Vevo.

[robertwilliams-wdcp]

I constantly peruse music videos, yours are my favorites .

[shughy]

So glad to find this band, they are so talented in every way, a rare thing these days

[ZoeHarrisbbvkp]

This song is great, and very catchy. Find myself humming it randomly.

[FrankieX]

Wow!, The music, the lyrics, the vocals... this sounds exactly like Johnny Hollow, another under-rated but incredible Canadian band. That's who I thought this was, the first time I heard this song on CBC. Melissa sounds just like Janine White.

Their new album is fantastic! Have seen them live numerous times and they are terrific (and charming)!

[natehigman]

I was looking for a completely different song, but I'm glad I found this one.

[impossiblybored]

this is SUCH A BOP! so atmospherical, I adore this so much.

[redgypsee]

Love this song-it's my new fave-can't wait for the whole album!

[scottpearson]

I have increased my output 6 fold in guinea pig husbandry due to this song. It's excellent and the lyrics are perhaps its greatest attribute. I have sent a wine and cheese gift basket to thank you for this track.

[cinnamanstera]

Excellent. Heard it on CBC 2, loved it, then saw it was Whitehorse and loved it even more. Keep up the good work.

[okanisis]

From northern Canada and can't wait to see 'em live eh!... that wasn't a question

[Lulululululu]
