vigilantes of love - 5 miles outside monroe lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
five miles outside of monroe
they say a man there just been k!lled
say you don’t wanna talk about it
but twenty dollars says you will
thought we made some progress
stayed up ’til the dawn
i thought we made some progress
oh, then again, i could be wrong

[verse 2]
well, five miles outside of monroe
you’re drumming your fingers on the dashboard
otis redding’s on the radio
he’s always so lonely at the dock of the bay
i thought we made some progress
with the advent of a kiss
yeah, i thought we made some progress
oh, then again, it was just a wish

[chorus]
on and on, brick by brick
come and build my house
while i try to get real good
at putting words in people’s mouths
one day when the bottom drops out
oh, we’ll lay this thing to rest
the truth sleeping like dynamite
inside this paper flesh

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
phone calls have been placed
letters have been sent
we’ve been trying to determine the exact nature of
your critical involvement
five miles outside of monroe
there’s static on the dispatch
“freedom”–there’s a holy word
but there’s a simple catch

[chorus]
on and on, brick by brick
come and build my house
while i try to get real good
at putting words in people’s mouths
one day when the bottom drops out
oh, we’ll lay this thing to rest
the truth sleeping like dynamite
inside this paper flesh
