Calexico - Bridge To Nowhere lyrics

From the empty streets to abandoned homes There’s a stinging feeling in my eye Shelter underground in case the big one comes Why would you plan for it not to work out right? My focus was blurred As the world became consumed For who? From the lookout tower another fired flare I wonder if there’s a light inside that heart To escape the mess from every misstep Why build another bridge that lead nowhere My focus was blurred As the world became consumed For who? What’s embedded, we’re coming up for air Become outdated, we’re coming up for air Lost in the details, we’re coming up for air It’s raining ashes, we’re coming up for air We’re coming up for air We’re coming up Even though they say it won’t change a thing These broken promises Only can last so long ‘Fore it all goes away
