Come On, Illinois Songtext

von Houndmouth

There's a fire in the city
We're making noise
You're burning bright and pretty

It's a long way just to make it to the border line

Put your vote in a box
A political election committee
Take what you know, and throw it down the goddamn privy

It's a long way just to make it to the border line

Vivien, you've been a bad girl
You took your mother's lantern and you dropped it in the farmhouse;
And you burnt down the city
A pretty young girl, well, you never had a chance

Bulit a house on a draw
You thought it would protect you
But the flames they travel fast here
And they're coming out to get you

Oh, a pretty young girl, well you never had a chance

And it's a long way just to make it to the border line
And it's a long way just to make it to the border line
