letra de missouri moon - alex dupree

[verse 1]
we took what we could carry when the holy city fell
the road across the prairie was curving like a sh-ll
i had to try and sell my memories to strangers
found a diner, ferguson was all over the news
i let my eyes adjust, and two men covered in tattoos
came and led me by the sleeve down to the bas-m-nt
they had a body stashed in there, slumped over a desk
the room was full of whispers ancient and grotesque
and when they lifted up his head, i saw he looked just like me
i jumped, a crowd had gathered. suddenly i felt absurd
someone said, go on, man tell him how it works
the boss is dead, and if the word gets out we’re finished
so they took my prints and promised me a good time in st. louis
if i’d stay and be his body double, and before i knew it
the past was something small, without importance
[refrain]
but glowing brighter and brighter the more it goes away
like a scratch in the lens of the glassy new day
new day, new divider

[verse 2]
so i changed my hair and found a suit and put on his gold watch
got photographed all over town with a little entourage
and it worked for a while, no one was suspicious
his widow played along, we’d go to parties and we’d kiss
and a fantasy rose faintly like a mountain in the distance
and so new to me, i thought that it was yours
didn’t last for long though, his obituary ran
his rivals at the funeral were studying their hands
their cars wrapped like a snake around our building

[refrain]
that glows brighter and brighter the more it goes away
a scratch in the lens of the glassy new day
new day, new divider

[verse 3]
she had to be in mourning as befitting for a queen
there was nothing left for me to do except not be seen
so, i’m back on the road a second time
oh, am i like a buoy that was tethered in the flood
by your sweet devotion when that tether is cut?
what is breaking through the surface?
what is rising?
[outro]
in my haywire, hot wire heart?
missouri moon, missouri moon
in my haywire, hot wire heart?
missouri moon, missouri moon
in my haywire, hot wire heart?
missouri moon, missouri moon
in my haywire, hot wire heart?
missouri moon, missouri moon
