Chris Whitley – Fireroad lyrics

SAY ONCE BEFORE YOU GO BEFORE I M GONE
TWO COULD RETURN WHERE BOTH BELONG
ALONG FALLEN AISLES ARSENAL LANES
THE REBEL REVEALS ONLY LOVE REMAINS

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE THEY COME
WE COULD ESCAPE BEFORE DAWN

SATELLITES RISE POWER LINES GREW
A MILLION MILES OF FIREROADS FOR TWO
NOW SHE AWAKE THE RIDE ON MY SKIN
DROPE INTO DRIVE FUELED ON THE WIND

I BEEN MAKING THIS SONG TRESSPASSING HOME
ENGINE OF BLOOD FLYWHEEL OF BONE
ILLUMINATE ME ILLUMINATE YOU
WE COULD ESCAPE FIREROADS FOR TWO

IN NEWTOWN TODAY A VIRUS CONFIRMED
FAIRGROUNDS REVOKED PLEASURE GARDENS UPTURNED
AND THE PRAYER COMPLIED AND DROPPED WHERE IT BURNED
NOONE WAS SPARED AND NOTHING WAS LEARNED

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE THEY COME
WE COULD ESCAPE BEFORE DAWN
ILLUMINATE ME ILLUMINATE YOU
WE COULD ESCAPE FIREROADS FOR TWO
