Cotillions

Halfway to Texas, or suicide
I left my body on the road
And no-no-nobody ever sold us
On any reason left to lie
Or any morning that I could leave
Or leave behind

Two steps to twilight
Searchlight to searchlight
Two steps to twilight
We’ll drive it all night
All night long

You are a cypher or fallacy
On which I torched an August field
So take bitter season, devil's roots
If you grieve forth what's left to us
To soldier on thus for crimson tide
Or tender trust

Two steps to twilight
Searchlight to searchlight
Two steps to twilight
We’ll drive it all night
All night long
We’ll drive it all night long

Halfway to Texas
Or suicide
I left my sisters by the road
And no-no-nobody ever sold me
On any reason that leads to youth
Or any morning I bled dry
Or bludgeoned proof

Two steps to twilight
Searchlight to searchlight
Two steps to twilight
We’ll drive it all night
All night long
Two steps to twilight
Searchlight to searchlight
We’ll drive it all night long
