Cotillions - William Patrick Corgan

Halfway to Texas, or suicide

I left my body on the road

And no-no-nobody ever sold us

On any reason left to lie

Or any morning that I could leave

Or leave behind

Two steps to twilight

Searchlight to searchlight

Two steps to twilight

We’ll drive it all night

All night long

You are a cypher or fallacy

On which I torched an August field

So take bitter season, devil’s roots

If you grieve forth what’s left to us

To soldier on thus for crimson tide

Or tender trust

Two steps to twilight

Searchlight to searchlight

Two steps to twilight

We’ll drive it all night

All night long

We’ll drive it all night long

Halfway to Texas

Or suicide

I left my sisters by the road

And no-no-nobody ever sold me

On any reason that leads to youth

Or any morning I bled dry

Or bludgeoned proof

Two steps to twilight

Searchlight to searchlight

Two steps to twilight

We’ll drive it all night

All night long

Two steps to twilight

Searchlight to searchlight

We’ll drive it all night long
