Oldest Daughter
You drift in with the wind and use a library computer to check in
"You can't sleep at the table, ma'am, you're scaring the kids"
And the fall's getting cold, you try to catch salt air in an envelope
So you can send it home, sit by the bay alone, sun on your skin
Another day up in flames
Another cop that knows your name (that knows your name)
These assholes always sound the same
Madelyn, I don't think that I'll see you again
Madelyn, I love you, but we both know how this ends
Madelyn, the tide is coming in
You pull out a cig, imagine the air in your lungs is gasoline
Light the fucker up, some people get all the luck, but some gotta live
I can't find an address, nobody seems to know where you're living at
I got you a birthday gift, and I wanna send it with pictures of my kids
Another day up in flames (day up in flames)
Another year that looks the same
Madelyn, I don't think that I'll see you again
Madelyn, I love you, but we both know how this ends
Madelyn, I heard that the tide is coming in
You're lost in the gray with two broken legs, trying to swim
(Madelyn) watch the clouds
(Madelyn) empty out
(Madelyn) flood the ground
(Madelyn) try to sleep
(Madelyn) in the steam
(Madelyn) from the street
Madelyn, I don't think that I'll see you again
Madelyn, I love you, but we both know how this ends
Madelyn, I heard that the tide is coming in
You're lost in the gray with two broken legs, trying to swim
"You can't sleep at the table, ma'am, you're scaring the kids"
And the fall's getting cold, you try to catch salt air in an envelope
So you can send it home, sit by the bay alone, sun on your skin
Another day up in flames
Another cop that knows your name (that knows your name)
These assholes always sound the same
Madelyn, I don't think that I'll see you again
Madelyn, I love you, but we both know how this ends
Madelyn, the tide is coming in
You pull out a cig, imagine the air in your lungs is gasoline
Light the fucker up, some people get all the luck, but some gotta live
I can't find an address, nobody seems to know where you're living at
I got you a birthday gift, and I wanna send it with pictures of my kids
Another day up in flames (day up in flames)
Another year that looks the same
Madelyn, I don't think that I'll see you again
Madelyn, I love you, but we both know how this ends
Madelyn, I heard that the tide is coming in
You're lost in the gray with two broken legs, trying to swim
(Madelyn) watch the clouds
(Madelyn) empty out
(Madelyn) flood the ground
(Madelyn) try to sleep
(Madelyn) in the steam
(Madelyn) from the street
Madelyn, I don't think that I'll see you again
Madelyn, I love you, but we both know how this ends
Madelyn, I heard that the tide is coming in
You're lost in the gray with two broken legs, trying to swim
