lyrics
The moon is hanging low
Like a sack of blackened coal
That I saw you throwing through my window frame
I think its time to go
Find a train moving slow
I hear the border its just two miles away
Through the day we'll steal the night
We’ll make it out in the time
Though the lights are flashing
Round the bend it’s all we see
Hold your horses, try and catch me
The road is crumbling slow
There’s nowhere left to go
But no way we’re staying
We’ll just turn back around
So grab your suitcase
And I’ll grab a gun
We’ll take the highway
There’s no one else around so lets just run
Through the day we'll steal the night
We’ll make it out in the time
Though the lights are flashing
Round the bend it’s all we see
Hold your horses, try and catch me
No one's as lonely, for you, you only
Wont you hold me
But don't let me run
I heard from all the others
The city ain't that much fun
Like a sack of blackened coal
That I saw you throwing through my window frame
I think its time to go
Find a train moving slow
I hear the border its just two miles away
Through the day we'll steal the night
We’ll make it out in the time
Though the lights are flashing
Round the bend it’s all we see
Hold your horses, try and catch me
The road is crumbling slow
There’s nowhere left to go
But no way we’re staying
We’ll just turn back around
So grab your suitcase
And I’ll grab a gun
We’ll take the highway
There’s no one else around so lets just run
Through the day we'll steal the night
We’ll make it out in the time
Though the lights are flashing
Round the bend it’s all we see
Hold your horses, try and catch me
No one's as lonely, for you, you only
Wont you hold me
But don't let me run
I heard from all the others
The city ain't that much fun
