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
