Dead One Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sky was clean and gold You laughed with the windows down Peach stains on the sidewalk Kids ran all through town The bakery door was open Cornbread on the air Then the ground split wide And I felt you staring there [Pre-Chorus] Something huge came crawling Black smoke on its breath Every step erased the day Every bite meant less [Chorus] Dead One, Dead One It ate the whole sun Dead One, Dead One Ran off with everyone Dead One, Dead One You heard that awful sound Dead One, Dead One And the happy got shut down (shut down) [Verse 2] It took the park bench first Then the red toy truck Swallowed the fruit stand signs And the church bell rusted up I saw your blue shirt vanish Under that hungry mouth I grabbed for your hand But the shadows pulled you out [Pre-Chorus] Something huge came crawling Black smoke on its breath Every step erased the day Every bite meant less [Chorus] Dead One, Dead One It ate the whole sun Dead One, Dead One Ran off with everyone Dead One, Dead One You heard that awful sound Dead One, Dead One And the happy got shut down (shut down) [Bridge] Now I walk that empty block With ashes on my tongue Where the peaches used to fall And the summer used to run If you come back through the dark Say my name out loud I’ll be waiting by the crack Where the sun fell down [Final Chorus] Dead One, Dead One It ate the whole sun Dead One, Dead One Ran off with everyone Dead One, Dead One You heard that awful sound Dead One, Dead One And the happy got shut down (shut down)
