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
