I'm on the road, I'm going somewhere There's nothing else that I can do We light a fire for the girl with the red hair And we walk like we're just passing through We count the days in Middletown Is there a world we haven't found? The black sky won't keep us down Is there a world we haven't found? We're on the roof, she's looking listless The orange clouds are hanging low (whoa-oh, oh-oh) She's in the mood, but will we resist? When the time is right, I think you'll know We count the days in Middletown Is there a world we haven't found? The black sky won't keep us down Is there a world we haven't found? And there used to be a store here A place where we could disappear Hard pack of Camel cigarettes Our parents hadn't caught us yet Your dad would work a steel job Go to church and make a deal with God A song would be our ticket out Of Middletown (whoa-oh, oh-oh) Of Middletown (whoa-oh, oh-oh) We count the days in Middletown Is there a world we haven't found? The black sky won't keep us down Is there a world we haven't found? We count the days in Middletown Is there a world we haven't found? The black sky won't keep us down Is there a world we haven't found? Is there a world we haven't found? We count the days in Middletown Is there a world in Middletown we haven't found? We count the days in Middletown
