Southern Empire Lyrics

Fluorescent breaks through the window, I hear them laughing in the yard outside

Feel like I've been running for days.

My mind keeps turning on a chorus

trying to forget we've never done this. I'm still hungry for a band on the stage

A coal train runs through this town all night. A clock that calls on the hour and the quarters too

Someone's dancing on the living room floor beneath our heads. And I wonder

am I gonna get some sleep? Am I gonna get some sleep tonight

I stare at walls of a cold room. I smell the ocean and the second-hand smoke

I'm so tired, but I'm ready to go

I'll walk these streets in the dark. I'll bring you coffee when they open

There's nothing quite like trial on the soul

A coal trains runs through this town all night. A clock that calls on the hour and the quarters too

Someone's dancing on the living room floor beneath our heads. And I wonder

am I gonna get some sleep? Am I gonna get some sleep tonight

I'll watch the sun rise on the east coast, brave the city for a book

Rolling country on the south roads as we ride our luck. There's nothing heavy on the radio

Play me something by brand new. 20 hours in delirium and we'll pull through

A coal trains runs through this town all night. A clock that calls on the hour and the quarters too

Someone's dancing on the living room floor beneath our heads. And I wonder

am I gonna get some sleep? Am I gonna get some sleep? Am I gonna get some sleep?
