| The silence never changes
|
| In the city with no name
|
| Would you come down after midnight
|
| Leave the rest of us to shame
|
| Why don’t we talk to the dead
|
| When the living’s all the same
|
| Why do we crawl like babies
|
| Why don’t we light up anyway
|
| Come down Mississippi tonight
|
| As we all watch under big lights
|
| You grow up fast and lonely
|
| With the lines to mark your face
|
| Bet you never felt so empty
|
| Have you wasted all your days?
|
| We’re you born from the seed of disguise?
|
| Do you pray to become undone?
|
| You’re the best of all that you know
|
| So uncover me in the big lights
|
| Come down Mississippi tonight
|
| As we all watch under big lights
|
| Why don’t you come down Mississippi tonight
|
| As we all watch under big lights
|
| Why don’t we talk to the dead
|
| When the living’s all the same
|
| Why do we crawl like babies, baby
|
| Why don’t we light up anyway
|
| Come down Mississippi tonight
|
| As we all watch under big lights
|
| Come down Mississippi tonight
|
| As we all watch under big lights |
