Mad Night

Lyrics

[Intro] Child don't let it get you We got mouths to sift through We'll fly high one day But how much time can you take? [Chorus] Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights Don't they last so long? Runnin' through the bad days strong To the last light gone Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights So busy, so blank Drivin' through the whiteout with nothin' left in the tank [Verse 1] She sat alone on the hilltop with a pillbox Pretendin' to shoot out all the city lights Starin' at the [?] block tryin' to make the chills stop Just her and her thoughts tryin' to get it right Thinkin' 'bout that first time, the first time Felt like winter sent shivers down her little spine Never felt a rage so cold She was only eight years old Said if she told October breeze now revealin' its plan Soon there'll be snow on the ground The steel is heavy in her hands While she's loadin' the rounds the cars passin' below If they only knew the half Or maybe they knew, she ain't the only one trapped And then it flashback again and it felt so real Hard to tell with feelings these days Might be her last chance The round waiting to unload [Chorus] Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights Don't they last so long? Runnin' through the bad days strong To the last light gone Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights So busy, so blank Drivin' through the whiteout with nothin' left in the tank [Verse 2] Every moment her family must've been stoic Was a quiet implosion That aching and numbness and nobody knows it No one to trust, no where to go then Nothing is just, nothing you're holdin' is sacred Her thoughts adjusted to handle strangers Everyone's an angler tryin' to get they hooks in If you know what they took then You would know they got no place in the book that they read from Thought of killin' once Thought of runnin' too Felt the same chill runnin' through her spine When she held the .45 had to choose: Put one between his eyes, or one in her own If she die would a Phoenix rise? Or would she feed the flies? Unhook the safety, turn off the phone Push the gun to her head and toss the heater aside Hope the heat of the night don't eat her alive [Chorus] Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights Don't they last so long? Runnin' through the bad days strong To the last light gone Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights So busy, so blank Drivin' through the whiteout with nothin' left in the tank [Outro] Hey Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights Don't they last so long? Runnin' through the bad days strong To the last light gone Singin' that satellite song All those lonely nights Don't they taste like pollution and ache like a cracked rib with no resolution?
