Bridge to Nowhere - Calexico

From the empty streets to abandoned homes

There’s a stinging feeling in my eye

Shelter underground in case the big one comes

Why would you plan for it not to work out right?

My focus was blurred

As the world became consumed

For who?

From the lookout tower another fired flare

I wonder if there’s a light inside that heart

To escape the mess from every misstep

Why build another bridge that lead nowhere

My focus was blurred

As the world became consumed

For who?

What’s embedded, we’re coming up for air

Become outdated, we’re coming up for air

Lost in the details, we’re coming up for air

It’s raining ashes, we’re coming up for air

We’re coming up for air

We’re coming up

Even though they say it won’t change a thing

These broken promises

Only can last so long

'Fore it all goes away
