lyrics

See the vapor trail drag
Bend with the light this morning
Don’t know just where to go
The bridges are burnt and the buildings are melted
I-I-I-I do swear, I need you,
You’re no enemy, though you’re sleeping with them—
Crossed all the mountaintops
Looking for a sign in the dirt and the rocks
And hey—
A man in Gaza said, you keeping me winding up
I’ll wind up dead instead
Shotgun shells upon the rooftops
My jukebox

I will get to you if it means running too,
From the war and the news

Don’t look back, don’t even ask
For the rocket’s truth

It burns for you.

Touchdown in the center of town
With no sound, ain’t no telling
Shakes the sleep from your eyes
Sky rips and tears unfurling
I, I want to hear your scream above
The blast, the mass explosion
Wait for the winds to clash
Propellants crash right to the ocean

I will get to you if it means running too,
From the war and the news

Don’t look back, don’t even ask
For the rocket’s truth

It burns for you.
