Lyrics Local Natives – Megaton Mile
Text:
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
And let your new work come
Tell me what I could’ve done
Hold me close in the ending
In a flashing light
We’re stuck and it’s after dark
On megaton mile
No alarms or hell riders
No, teary-eyed ain’t good
(No, teary-eyed ain’t good)
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 head me calling out your name
Hold me close in the ending
In a flashing light
We’re stuck and it’s after dark
On megaton mile
January came and went early
In a flashing light
We’re stuck and it’s after dark
On megaton mile
You said it was beautiful
As much as it was terrifying
Hold me close in the ending
In a flashing light
We’re stuck and it’s after dark
On megaton mile
January came and went early
In a flashing light
We’re stuck and it’s after dark
On megaton mile
