I'm Only Here Tonight

I came to town wearing mountain roads
 I came to town throwing knives
 I brought my dreams tied in little bows
 Tied to a tattered, battered kite
 Down on the curb we talked of mountain roads
 We drank a backpack full of wine
 You said you lost the pair of wings I stowed
 With you the last time I left town
 We've got to go to the shore
 We've got to see those river lights
 You know I don't live here any more
 You know I'm only here tonight
 She only dances with her hair down
 Laughs with her eyes like open wounds
 She has to kiss so many, many mouths
 Her belly's full of empty tombs
 We've got to go to the shore
 We've got to see those river lights
 You know I don't live here any more
 You know I'm only here tonight
 We've got to go to the shore
 We've got to see those river lights
 You know I don't live here any more
 You know I'm only here tonight
