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
