the perilous night - drive-by truckers lyrics
[verse 1]
we needed warming from the cold hard facts
unheeded warnings ’bout the broken tracks
all hope is fading, it’s not coming back again
[verse 2]
uniting forces may be calling fast
changing courses to some stalin past
melting faces through the looking gl-ss, my friend
[chorus]
something’s got a hold of our feel alright
out of control in the appet-te
we’re moving into the perilous night, amen
amen
[verse 3]
dumb, white and angry with their cup half filled
running over people down in charlottesville
white house fury, it’s the k!lling side he defends
[verse 4]
defend the up-ender, yes he played that tune
is ain’t the ending but it’s coming soon
we’re making love beneath a sputnik moon again
[verse 5]
white house is glowing from the red square light
the gates at the border bein’ slammed down tight
we’re movin’ into the perilous night, my friend
[chorus]
something’s got a hold of our feel alright
out of control in the appet-te
we’re moving into the perilous night, amen
amen
[bridge]
and why’s that drone looking through my window?
world keeps turning in the torch light shadow
fourth reich in khakis is beckoning
both ends burning to the reckoning
[verse 6]
ronnie reagan must be spinnin’ his grave
putin’s on the rise, ukraine’s under siege
fascism’s knocking and trump says “let them in”
[verse 7]
i’d like to tell you there’ll be better days
but optimism’s runnin’ low today
we’re off the deep end with a lifeguard that can’t swim
[verse 8]
the klan and the n-z-s are taking up the fight
against their own salvation in the savior’s light
we’re moving into the perilous night, amen
[verse 9]
flags of oppression are blocking out the light
dismantling the greatest generation’s fight
we’re moving into the perilous night, amen
amen
amen
