fortune - riot in the heartland lyrics
[verse 1]
we drank from a silver flask and listened to the house breathe
counting the stars ’til half past four
grateful for every hour we don’t fall down
trying to survive in this broken town
johnny jumped the fence and the dogs bark
captain’s got a gun, yeah, it won’t be long
[chorus]
there’s a riot in the heartland
a party at the river’s edge tonight
scarlet’s got her spotlight on
searching for a better life
there’s a riot in the heartland
a party at the river’s edge tonight
the music of the night birds sing
singing for a better life
[verse 2]
a late autumn white moon shines, the carnival’s long gone
the birds in the courtyard, shadows fall
a narrowing rope bridge on the outskirts of town
the hiss of a wind and we all fall down
mmm, jimmy smashed his truck on the courthouse door
gigi’s got a baby coming, her daddy’s got a .44
[chorus]
there’s a riot in the heartland
a party at the river’s edge tonight
scarlet’s got her spotlight on
searching for a better life
there’s a riot in the heartland
a party at the river’s edge tonight
the music of the night birds sing
singing for a better life
[bridge]
last stop, it’s the last stop
a seat on the noonday train (a ticket on the noonday train)
last stop is calling me out
you+name+it, usa
[chorus]
there’s a riot in the heartland
a party at the river’s edge tonight
scarlet’s got her spotlight on
searching for a better life
there’s a riot in the heartland
a party at the river’s edge tonight
the music of the night birds sing
singing for a better life
riot in the heartland
[outro]
there’s a riot in the heartland
