Searchlights

Searchlights in the morning

Sirens at dawn

Desperate like the rest of us

Barely hangin' on

Together, forever

Tonight, an American

You were always a passenger

The wheels rolling by

Somewhere on the interstate

Past the county line

Watch her come tumbling down,

On the Fourth of July

Hey Now, you gotta slow down

You're a wildfire and you're burning out

That's alright, for the meantime

That's alright for the meantime

My love's like a phantom

A thousand miles too high

Burning through the backstreets

The ones we left behind

She's a vision

She's an angel

She's a dream

Just passing by

But it died in Pensacola

Buried in a flood

She tightened the drawstring

& poisoned the blood

And at the end of it all

She sang Baby Ain't It Fun

I'm nervous

Like a breakdown

It's last call and I'm hangin' round

That's alright for the meantime

Just get high for the meantime

I can tell when you're crying

about everything

I can tell when you're lying

About everything

Yeah

Everything

That's alright for the meantime

We'll just get by for the meantime
