Uncle Tupelo - New Madrid lyrics

rate me

All my daydreams are disasters

She's the one I think I love

Rivers burn and then run backwards

For her, that's enough

They all come from New York City

And they woke me up at dawn

She walked with me to the fountain

And she held onto my arm

Come on, do what you did

Roll me under New Madrid

Shake my baby and please bring her back

'Cause death won't even be still

Caroms over the landfill

Buries us all in its broken back

There's a man of conviction

And although he's getting old

Mr. Browning has a prediction

And we've all been told

So come on back from New York City

Roll your trucks in at dawn

Walk with me to the fountain

And hold onto my arm

Come on, do what you did

Roll me under New Madrid

Shake my baby and please bring her back

'Cause death won't even be still

Caroms over the landfill

Buries us all in its broken back
