The Mountain Goats — Tulsa Imperative

[Verse 1] Your momma's failed wheat field Was a good place to lie down together Three weeks deep into the guts of summer We sweat like hogs, and I felt light as a feather I saw a disk-like object Reflected in your eye And the noise grew louder As we looked up to the sky [Chorus 1] And the sleek silver body Headlights along the side And the sleek silver body Headlights all underneath I remember the warm air Blowing in our faces I remember the heat Running through me [Verse 2] There was no one worth telling There was nothing we could do, and I was Real quiet as I lifted the keys from the kitchen table I was looking right at you And your hand brushed against mine And and it shook me inside as All along the night sky I watched our futures collide [Chorus 2] And the car's new headlights Cut through the darkness As the oil dripped silently To the pavement underneath I remember the warm air Burning our faces I remember the heat Running through me
