Still A Mile Till Dawn lyrics
Take off your dirty halo
Your broken wings too
Stoke up the volcano
I got something to say to you
I got something to say to you
Your hat’s full of confetti
Red poppies on the graves
Reading the tombstone graffiti
Fading from another age
From another age
There is no time to mourn
We’ve got a mile until dawn
There’s Ravens in the cornfield
There’s gamblers on the streets
Looking for a good deal
To help them fall on their feet
Getting fat on big words
Swallowing all they say
But they’ve been misheard
On this Memorial Day
No refuge from the storm
And still a mile until dawn
A mile until dawn
A mile until dawn
Running over rooftops
A faked crash scene below
Baiting the riot cops
Who sold out long ago
Nuns seeking asylum
Truth’s in short supply
Prison inmates smiling
Wearing that old school tie
That old school tie
So many still to warn
Only a mile until dawn
So many still to warn
Only a mile until dawn
So many still to warn
Only a mile until dawn
So many still to warn
Only a mile until dawn
Take off your dirty halo
Your broken wings too
Stoke up the volcano
I got something to say to you
I got something to say to you
Your hat’s full of confetti
Red poppies on the graves
Reading the tombstone graffiti
Fading from another age
There is no time to mourn
We’ve got a mile until dawn
We’ve got a mile until dawn
We’ve got a mile until dawn
A mile until dawn
