Mercury Mouth/Blood And Honey - 3 Stateside Romance

Lyrics:

Just before the sun went down
An eerie wind swam through the town
And with it came the spirits of the night
They danced and laughed from up above
At all the fools, mad with love
Ambition moving at the speed of light.

She came here for the pretty cars
The cowboy hats and movie stars
And stayed just to be free
The sea was clean, the fruit was ripe
The clouds were painted stars and stripes
Heaven seemed to have a vacancy

Where beauty's flames once burned, now chilled
Her skin had aged, was ageing still
Her lonely mirror scowled and watched her rot
Her head forever in the air, she prayed the same old weary prayer
A honey coated comeback or a single rifle shot

Proud to call this place his land
A filthy flag waved in his hand
This mountain of a man so big and proud
He built his home on broken bones
And never thought he was alone
Until the night he saw the glowing clouds

A thousand sunsets in the past
Before the fated neon blast
Before their hope was lost without a trace
To cheesy songs they danced all night
She told him that she felt just right
A gentle smile blossomed on his face

He keeps it in the bottom drawer
Along with medals from the war
God forbid the world should find his pride
She throws it in the fireplace
Tears rolling down her face
She never reckoned she'd be one to cry

And in her mother's dress of gloom
She tries to hide inside the moon
But the moon will only last until the dawn
When the morning finally comes
He steps into the newborn sun

Everything he used to be is gone.
