Lyrics:
Black lungs, headlights, heading off to the city tonight
Out the front door, turn right, I was alone, alright alright alright
I wonder what they’ll think of me. I’ll run away, run away
This is my town, this is my night, heading off to the city tonight
And she said, “Come on, out with it. Come on, out with it.”
Hard words on a hot night,
“I’ll have a beer, won’t you turn out the light?”
From the front door I could hear it right
I’m just running dumb and dumb and dumb and dumb
I wonder if I’ll be turning back
I got twenty bucks in a pocket with my stash
I’m not afraid. I’m not your “good night”
I’m just a shadow of a shadow tonight
And she said, “Come on, out with it. Come on, out with it.”
Come on out.
And the night shadows watching
The darkness approaching
You came for a life in the park
So you stand on the stage at such a young age
As you’re feeling around in the dark
And your mother, she’s calling
You feel your hopes falling
There’s nowhere to run to tonight
Just his fist on your face now
You hope to replace how the emptiness fills you inside.
