The Lights of the Baker Bridge

They're gonna come from miles around, they're gonna come
She said everybody loses their minds
I just presumed it was my time
She stood up and threw her hair back
and exploded like a landmine
A weapon doesn't need a timer to be right on time

They're gonna come from miles around, they're gonna come
The girls they love are at the waterline
under the Baker Bridge's light
And despite the claims of all the tough guys
They're gonna bring this place back to life

But all the lovers underneath the bridge never wanted the lights
because anything more than a glow will snuff out the life

They're gonna come from miles around, they're gonna come
They drowned them all at the water's edge
Saying there are things worse than death
