Light Up Mississippi - Thriving Ivory

The silence never changes

In the city with no name

Would you come down after midnight

Leave the rest of us to shame

Why don’t we talk to the dead

When the living’s all the same

Why do we crawl like babies

Why don’t we light up anyway

Come down Mississippi tonight

As we all watch under big lights

You grow up fast and lonely

With the lines to mark your face

Bet you never felt so empty

Have you wasted all your days?

We’re you born from the seed of disguise?

Do you pray to become undone?

You’re the best of all that you know

So uncover me in the big lights

Come down Mississippi tonight

As we all watch under big lights

Why don’t you come down Mississippi tonight

As we all watch under big lights

Why don’t we talk to the dead

When the living’s all the same

Why do we crawl like babies, baby

Why don’t we light up anyway

Come down Mississippi tonight

As we all watch under big lights

Come down Mississippi tonight

As we all watch under big lights
