Megaton Mile
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.
Climbing up through the window
Up to the rooftop (Up to the rooftop)
The seagulls swarm on the railroad
All we could do is watch (All we could do is watch)
Hit like a sucker punch
That you knew would come
Tell me what I could've done
Hold me close in the ending
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
No alarms or pale riders
No teary-eyed anchors
(No teary-eyed anchors)
It took so long for it all
To change with just a word
(To change with just a word)
Abandoned cars on the freeway
A terracotta rush hour
You heard me calling out your name
Hold me close in the ending
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
January came and went early
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
You said it was beautiful
As much as it was terrifying
Hold me close in the ending
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
Oh, January came and went early
In a flashing light
It's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
