Good-bye Dr. Strangelove he knew he had to go
And every pinch and kick just dragged me down
There's no way to imagine that without a soul to turn to
I would find some shelter in this town
Chorus:
It won't be the first time, it won't be the last
No matter how many times you feel the blast
Come on, baby, take my hand
There's a dark sun rising on this land
And when the first one falls we'll be crawling up the walls
Down in the valley of our souls
The first one today is gonna take me all the way
'Til the last one for the road
Like a small town debutante just off the bus in Hollywood
I have found humility, and I suppose it's done me good
I'll take it all on board if I must
But I hope you have to see me turn to dust
It won't be the first time, it won't be the last
No matter how many times the die is cast
Come on, baby, take my hand
There's a dark sun rising on this land
Too late the planes all left on time
As my window slammed shut without a sound
And I've got by for so long just on fear and trust
I hope you see me scratching in the dust
(repeat chorus)
