Jackson

There's no sense in knowing When the bullets will bite ya I must have had some good fortune And drank with a messiah But cheers to the atmosphere From which I fell It's big, wide, and vast here Strange as all hell A city and its towers Climb up and grow outward, babe All while we wait for the midnight hour That's when the stardust Struck before the lights went out One more night in Jackson And one more kiss right now They say the soul is a-searching For one just like itself But whеn the whole wide world burns out Thеre won't be anyone else So take it off in the sunshine And put it on when it's storming Take it off in the nighttime And put it back on in the morning A city and its towers Climb up and grow outward, babe All while we wait for the midnight hour That's when the stardust Struck before the lights went out One more night in Jackson And one more kiss right now Whoever's in charge here Is just so damn rich Eccentric and foolish But just so damn rich They carry fancy belongings And have a look on their face Like everything is disposable And easily replaced A city and its towers Climb up and grow outward, babe All while we wait for the midnight hour That's when the stardust Struck before the lights went out One more night in Jackson And one more kiss right now One more night in Jackson And one more kiss right now One more night in Jackson, babe And one more kiss right now
