Local Natives - Megaton Mile

Climbing up through the window
Up to the rooftop (Up to the rooftop)
The seagulls swarm on the railroad
All we could do is watch (All we could do is watch)

Hit like a sucker punch
And let your new work come
Tell me what I could've done

Holding me close in the ending
In a flashing light
We're stuck and it's after dark
On Megaton Mile

No alarms or pill riders
No, teary-eyed anchors
(No, teary-eyed anchors)
It took so long for it all
To change with just a word
(To change with just a word)

Abandoned cars on the freeway
A terracotta rush hour
You heard me calling out your name

Holding me close in the ending
In a flashing light
We're stuck and it's after dark
On Megaton Mile
January came and went early
In a flashing light
We're stuck and it's after dark
On Megaton Mile

You said it was beautiful
As much as it was terrifying

Holding me close in the ending
In a flashing light
We're stuck and it's after dark
On Megaton Mile
January came and went early
In a flashing light
We're stuck and it's after dark
On Megaton Mile
