Victims of the Age

Victims of the Age - Mark Heard

Asphalt ocean roars

At islands with rubber wheels

City kid can't keep on even keel

Neon world says "Gotcha"

Heart says "No no no"

Don't be swimming in the undertow"

Caught between these voices

The sirens and the sage

One too many choices

For the victims of the age

Radio says "I love you"

Street says "That's a lie"

Billboard says "Give anything a try"

Sidewalks don't say nothing

Streetlights don't ask

Why could stars be screaming in the evening sky

Caught between these voices

The sirens and the sage

One too many choices

For the victims of the age

Caught between these voices

The sirens and the sage

One too many choices

For the victims of the age

Caught between these voices

The sirens and the sage

One too many choices

For the victims of the age
