lyrics

String lights and dog fights out on the Messa
It’s prom night in junction, it’s cut out in letters
Shadows and dust, white skirts and rust
Burn on the frontier, like you knew they must

Jet planes shine above the town
Calico colours coming down
Calico colours coming down

Valentines and cheap wine, spin in silhouettes
Marilyn and Cobain sharing back door cigarettes
Sweethearts and cowboys are twisting up like sparks
Fathers in their kitchens, drinking whiskey in the dark

Hear that barking lonely hound
Calico colours coming down
Calico colours coming down

Collect up your kisses, the hall begins to clear
Cinderella on the dance floor in a swimming pool of tears
Shadows and dust, white skirts and rust
The emptiness of those hills and that deep dark hush

Someone will have to wear the crown
Calico colours coming down
Calico colours coming down
