lyrics

All these highways behind our eyes
putting in the get away miles
I was the villain you were the child
but there is a lane that swallows our sins
and there is a clock in a curtained room
it counts my time in blossoms
while I look out from an ocean front view
through the haze of my lawless obsessions
and in one season of tenderness
I made my final and last great mess
oh it was such a deadly success
in those tangled labyrinths of innocence

in hidden America , electric fans are whirling
in forbidden America, the wheels of fate are turning

we crossed many a county line
it was out west that our planets aligned
with intuitions of goodbyes
I heard your footfalls at a half past nine
then lines on the road glittered like gold
so fast with no way to rewind
and you left some of your things behind
so I turned them to ash with my electric desires
and in that blaze I saw all that I craved
and the smoke filled my lungs with its fragrance
and some hand written page escaped from the flames
carrying all of my illicit secrets

in hidden America, where all my love is burning
in forbidden America, the wheels of fate are turning
they're turning
