The Last Dinner Party – ‘Knocking at the Sky’ lyrics:

Standing on the windowsill
Walking in your sleep
On the streets sirens sang
For you to take the leap

Thought that you were Icarus
Or at least that you were Greek
To the people down below
You’re just another freak

I would give my eyes away just to be the light
I’d burn off my fingerprints, start a brand new life
I would trade my innocence, choke upon my pride
You can find me every night
Knocking at the sky

Singing La La La La
Singing la La La La
Singing la La La La
Singing la La La La

Women wept when you were gone
Lay naked on the shore
A hero’s death in chiffon trenches
Who could ask for more?

And you would seek the mountains
Or the moon where snow is born
To gaze upon the cobra
Or Athena in soft core

I would give my eyes away just to be the light
I’d burn off my fingerprints, start a brand new life
I would trade my innocence, choke upon my pride
You can find me every night
Knocking at the sky

Singing La La La La
Singing la La La La
Singing la La La La
Singing la La La La

[spoken]
Honey, there’s a seven-car-pile-up
On the highway to my heart
But if I give you the green light
You promise you’ll never come back
You promise?

Oh, I rue the day I ever left this place
I gave my headshots in to Trashy’s Lingerie
I want my MTV, my grass and my valet
It never rains on me
Oh god I love LA!

La la la la la
La la la la la
(Repeat)

    There's something so fascinating about this music video that I struggle so much to put into words. The song itself obviously is fire. A pure blaze of glory and power and a beautiful finale to the deluxe version of From the Pyre, but the music video itself hits a part of my brain I never even knew I had. I assume it's the variation between more modern scenes and the old-timey scenes with Abigail, especially in the spoken part where it nearly seems like Modern Abigail is talking to Vintage Abigail.
    The imagery in general just works so wonderfully for this song. It's chaotic, fast and powerful. I love it so much. I fear for my neighbors sleep when this song will inevitably happen to play at three am from my phone. It's too addictive to not sing along to

    i just clocked
    oh lord i love LA!
    then the la la las
    are like echoes of LA’s actual name
    I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

    This band is awesome ! I'm glad there are still bands that capture the amazing vibe of the '70s and '80s ! It inspires my personal style, I'm a huge fan of the fashion and music from that era ! ✨🕺

    It's crazy that somehow they manage to sound even better live than they do on their already amazing studio versions

    Absoutely loving this song – I've spent the last 45 mins wracking my brain trying to work out which of the 80's/90's bands I love this reminds me and I've finally realised. It's all of them. This is just perfect.
