Lyrics
Light Up Mississippi
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.
The silence never changes
In the city with no name
Would you come down after midnight
Leave the rest of us to shame
Why don't we talk to the dead
When the living's all the same
Why do we crawl like babies
Why don't we light up anyway
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
You grow up fast and lonely
With the lines to mark your face
Bet you never felt so empty
Have you wasted all your days?
We're you born
from the seed of disguise?
Do you pray to become undone?
You're the best of all that you know
So uncover me in the big lights
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
Why don't you come down
Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
Why don't we talk to the dead
When the living's all the same
Why do we crawl like babies, baby
Why don't we light up anyway
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
Come down Mississippi tonight
As we all watch under big lights
