The Mekons – Mirage Lyrics

Alternative

Cloud puncher, sky stealer
Earth falling, early warning
Deep mountain, toll highway
Gasoline rainbow
Beats working, beats dying
Slowly rising, where you hiding?
Where you hiding?
Where you hiding?
And the skinny fella comes out of nowhere
The only moments on this horizon
Give us something to fix our eyes on
Something nagging, almost blinding
Give us something to fix our eyes on
We had recollections
Life flashing before you stumbled up again
Into the mirage in the sunset
Into the mirage in the sunset
Into the mirage in the sunset
Drinking, dancing, sex, high living
They don't seem so sinful now
We dwindle in the atom age
Into the mirage and the folded page
Into the mirage in the sunset
Into the mirage in the sunset
Into the mirage in the sunset
Into the mirage in the sunset
Guilt, remorse, and loneliness
All are parts of dying
This is as good as
This is as good as it's going to get
Between the mirage and the sunset
Between the mirage and the sunset
Between the mirage and the sunset
No taboos, nothing to lose
Modern dramas, electric storms
A truck in the attic, a moment of panic
Daily routine, oasis freeze
Hearts of gold, hearts of gold
I never thought it would end
I never thought it would end
All my friends, all my friends
Where the fuck did they go?
In the treads I sent them tramping
While outside the dust storms wait
I thought I had found an oasis
But it was just another stinking old lie
