Meteor City

I knew a girl in meteor city
we used to drive down one cratered road
and I would hold her hand and she would look pretty
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

I'd spend my days in this run down cafe
working for a room at the top of the stairs
and she would work the con man just to be here longer
it's the only thing that kept me there
I couldn't wait for the cooler night
I couldn't wait for the cooler night

I knew a girl in meteor city
we used to drive down one cratered road
and I would hold her hand and she would look pretty
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

And I said oh Sophia where'd you get a name like that
living in this dark old dawn
She said I think he was a movie star, my father saw before I was born
but I really don't remember know.
he left when I was so young
when I was so young

I knew a girl in meteor city
we used to drive down one cratered road
and I would hold her hand and she would look pretty
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

At night, the stars, they all jump through the sky
like the dreams that I miss so much
and I hate the emptiness and the pain inside
a little whisky and a woman's touch
yeah that's the good time
yeah that's the good time

I knew a girl in meteor city
we used to drive down one cratered road
and I would hold her hand and she would look pretty
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
didn't know didn't know
