Middletown Songtext

von July for Kings

I'm on the road i'm going nowhere
There's nothing else that i can do
We light a fire for the girl with red hair
And we walk like we're just passing through

We count the days in Middletown
Is there a world we haven't found
The black sky won't keep us down
Is there a world we haven't found

We're on the roof she's looking listless
The orange clouds are hanging low
She's in the mood
But will we resist
When the time is right i think you'll know

We count the days in Middletown
Is there a world we haven't found
The black sky won't keep us down
Is there a world we haven't found

There used to be a store here
A place where we could disappear
Hard pack of camel cigarettes
Our parents hadn't caught us yet
Your dad would work a steel job
Go to church and make a deal with god
A song would be our ticket out

We count the days in Middletown
Is there a world we haven't found
The black sky won't keep us down
Is there a world we haven't found

We count the days in Middletown
Is there a world we haven't found
The black sky won't keep us down
Is there a world we haven't found

We count the days in Middletown
Is there a world we haven't found
Is there a world we haven't found
We count the days in Middletown
Is there a world in Middletown
We haven't found
We count the days in Middletown
