Lyrics
Wooderson
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And tonight the coastline is quiet, it's quieter than it's ever been.
Honey this town is a prison, with its four walls closing in
and they got one pill to make you smaller, they one pill to make you scream.
Darling this heart is on fire, and this life is but a dream
alright, alright.
You see this town pulls my heart strings, I fell in love with the Shrewsbury stars
but you see there's far too many diamonds, in the back seats of borrowed cars
And I could never stop this burning honey I can't settle dust,
I could never stay awake through dark and this heart is on fire
alright alright.
Tonight tonight
we're gonna ride like silver on a desolation moonlight
tonight tonight
ain't coming back until the morning light,
tonight tonight
it's alright alright
tonight tonight. Alright alright.
dancing my moonlight, my old friend the twilight
