Long Gone West - Continental Drift

You shine brighter, babe
Than the klieg lights on the famous
You're a western wildfire on a windy night

You're a heart attack
Dropping men across the nation
You're the rocks they run aground upon each night

We tore midtown up
We closed down the Danceteria
We burned bridges just to watch the pretty lights

I was overthrown
You were princess Anastasia
I was Russia on a February night

So you met some guy
From the Mayflower line
Does he make you moan?
Does he take his time?
Got a Rolls Royce Wraith
Got a home in Vail
But he don't know where
Anastasia likes to go
Damn right I know

Flying west with the setting sun
Going a million miles an hour
Thru the dark clouds while down below
Darkness washes up on the shore

She goes: oh, just let it go.
She goes: oh, just let it go.

Above the clouds
I'm waking up now
The sun's still rose
The world's still with us

Let it roll baby roll
Let the victors write
All their thousands of lies
I'll be out in L.A.

On the golden coast
Watching waves break on the shore
Of the golden coast
Thinking life is so much more

Then Ana says
"I never liked him anyway"
Girl don't burn any more bridges down
To the ground

Cuz you've got nowhere to run
I'm a continent away
As the flames rise high
Ana's waving good-bye
But it's over now
Cuz you're over there
And I'm on the shore
In the golden sand
In the golden sand
