Lyrics

We need a better idea, here quick
Before the sun's beatin' down on our necks
We need a better idea
Watch us speed, to the end of the world
Promise all, that we've already heard
And still we're nowhere
I don't care to know all the details
How you left him to shout down the stairs
I don't care to know
Slow red dawn is gonna come
Slow red dawn is comin' on
Slow red dawn
Do you see that thin strip of light there?
On the skyline, it seems unaware
That we haven't slept yet
But as long as we still laugh for keeps
And you swear you were dyin' to leave
There's no reason to sleep
Slow red dawn is gonna come
Slow red dawn is comin' on
Slow red dawn
Slow red dawn is gonna come
Slow red dawn is comin' on
Slow red dawn
Do ya see that light there?
On the skyline unaware
Do ya see that light there?
Comin' on
Are we gonna let it flag?
I think we got it in the bag
Do ya see the light there?
Comin' on
