In the Flicker - Sundowner

The air is filled with dust and smoke

The cities burned down long ago

Washed in fear we salvage hopes

We walk the same abandoned road

I dance to the here and the now

I dance to the bullets against the ground

We live in the flicker tonight

We chase the waves of dawn 'til we die

The vultures circle overhead

They heard every word I said

We search for ghosts that roam our past

Revel in dreams that never last

I wear a bulls-eye on my back

A scrap of metal in my chest

I live or die with every step

The gloom is brooding in the west

How many lives have I got left?

Just leave my corpse to ride the desert wind

Just lay me dead never return again
