You're Going Out Tonight

from You're Going Out Tonight by Joe Agger

/

lyrics

and we walk down as the smoke scales a gradient
and the sunlight it burns us, coral or beige
I hope that this won't be the end
but if it is, a stunning plume could permeate our final view

and then as we walk down the airstrip
and see the planes crash not too far overhead
it was with you, my love
a precarious kiss we shared

you're going out tonight, but so am I
you're going out tonight, love of mine
you're going out tonight, and I'm not too far behind
you're going out, out, out tonight

and we kiss the cement, at least that's how it felt
and we grounded ourselves like sidewinders in sand
we touched palms like the sweat would bind us
and suddenly, we felt more real than we'd ever imagined

and then as we speed down the airstrip
and hear the planes resound like winter bells
as the righteous run, my love
and maybe we'll be saved

you're going out tonight, but so am I
you're going out tonight, love of mine
you're going out tonight, and I'm not too far behind
you're going out, out, out tonight

but if we danced like scintilla 'til the end
if we craved each other like perigee to the earth
then we won't sleep in vain
and then as we float up from the smoke
and remember our friends we once held near
if the fire of our lord fell, we won't have to join it
yeah, yeah

but then as we walk down the airstrip
and see the planes crash not too far overhead
it was with you, my love
a precarious kiss we shared

you're going out tonight, but so am I
you're going out tonight, love of mine
you're going out tonight, and I'm not too far behind
you're going out, out, out tonight
