Rogue States - The Favourite Son lyrics

The ghost of the last great highway I danced like a drone on the air Was living out of a bag from delta to drag I was thumbing my way to nowhere I was halfway from here to the shot gla** And halfway from feeling to numb I was hanging my head for drink or for dread When I found you my favourite son But all I could feel was the humdrum And all I could hear was the hum Everything that you said going over my head In light of my favourite son I need you like a planet needs a black hole I need you like a lover needs to lose control I need you like a heart needs to concede I need you but you're not what I need The weight of the deadlock was lifted The curse of the age was undone The minutes grew still as if waiting until The return of my favourite son But all I could feel was the humdrum And all I could hear was the hum And though I wasn't afraid I was starting to fade To the sound of my favourite son I need you like a planet needs a black hole I need you like a lover needs to lose control I need you like a heart needs to concede I need you but you're not what I need I need you like a river needs to run dry I need you like a bullet needs an alibi I need you like the earth needs a bad seed I need you but you're not what I need Need you but you're not what I need Need you but you're not what I need, need, need You are my favourite son You are my favourite son You are my favourite son, son, son You are my favourite son You are the only one You are my favourite son, son, son, son I need you like a planet needs a black hole I need you like a lover needs to lose control I need you like a heart needs to concede I need you but you're not what I need
