Lyrics The Rocket Summer

The Rocket Summer

Cold War

Seas of brilliant stars shine down on me

As I wait for the Marfa Lights to illuminate

I see nothing

And that pain everyday wears a little more

Between my head and my heart there is a cold war

Go, they got their guns... they got their guns

We're having us another one

Panic in the streets, in the streets…

the ravaged town inside of me

Oh, the tension of what I want, what I need, the in-between

Go, they got their guns

Within me the head and heart are battling

What you want is not always what you need

The carrot might not taste as sweet as it seems

And that pain everyday wears a little more

Between my head and my heart there is a cold war

Go, they got their guns... they got their guns

We're having us another one

Panic in the streets, in the streets…

the ravaged town inside of me

Oh, the tension of what I want, what I need, the in-between

Go, they got their guns

Within me the head and heart are battling
