Middletown

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
