Come On, Illinois Songtext
von Houndmouth

Come on, Illinois
There′s a fire in the city
And we're makin′ noise
You're burnin' bright and pretty
It′s a long way just to make it to the borderline

Jawbone in a box
A political action committee
Take what you know
Throw it down the goddamn privy
It′s a long way just to make it to the borderline


Vivian, you've been a bad girl
You took your mother′s lantern
And you dropped it in the farmhouse
And you burnt down the city
Oh, you pretty young girl
Well, you never had a chance

Built a house on a drawbridge
You thought it would protect you
But the flames, they travel fast here
And they're comin′ out to get ya
Oh, you pretty young girl
Well, you never had a chance

And it's a long way just to make it to the borderline

And it′s a long way just to make it to the borderline
