Trade Heroes - LA Lyrics

I can see the fire in the canyon
Come the dawn this place will be abandoned
I got just enough to get us through the night
Drink a glass of this stuff, babe, and it'll be alright
The air clings to me now
Like the whiskey on your breath
It's too goddamn hot out here
For all this talk of life and death
I'd pass you the bottle
If you could take another pull
I'd like to light your cigarette
But the ashtray's almost full
I can see the storm beyond the spillway
Coming down to wash those rusted heaps away
Now the water's six feet high and rising fast
All we've got's the moment so let's make it last
The moon hangs overhead
Like the ember from your hand
Shining on the only souls
In this godforsaken land
I'll stay til the morning
Even if the sun don't rise
I'll take whatever comfort's left
In your sweetly worded lies
The earth shakes below my feet
Like the heartbeat in your chest
Just a little longer now
And we'll be buried with the rest
I'd pray for deliverance
If there was anywhere to go
I'll just lie down next to you
And await the final blow
