Siren Song

by James Wilson

Two-tone flannel for a soul
Broken hearts and rock & roll
Wrap it around you, keep you from the cold
Four lanes and gravel
Heart strings unravel
Chase them down until you're old

So you bust out the headlights
And you break up the dog-fight
Don't you know that it's all in your mind?
Taking up your burden
With your skin still burning
Dragging your life across the sands of time

And the faces, they all look the same
As they scream out your name

And your heart, it screams to belong
But we live and die as we dream all alone
And I heard those sirens singing on FM radio
Darling, they won't let me go
