America At Night

(album: American Noir - 2021)

America at night, under halogen light
We fall out of youth and we love out of spite
She's coca-cola red and I'm pepsi-cola blue
In the land of the free I'm a prisoner for you

Melt into me, white and blue and red
We live until we're 25, for 50 more we're dead
Fear for nothing, love is bought and sold
I never knew the golden state could ever feel so cold

Here comes the dark
Here comes the dark
There's a hole in my heart and here comes the dark

America at night, hiding from the light
Of the golden arches as a pale horse appears
She sways to the beat, she sweats through my sheets
When the sunrise gets in even vampires can't sleep

Here comes the dark
Here comes the dark
There's a hole in my heart and here comes the dark
Here comes the dark
Here comes the dark
There's a hole in my heart and here comes the dark
