Hell-Bent And Heart-First Lyrics by Cory Branan

12 Songs

2006

I went to a party
The party came to nothing
I got there early and I drank for dear life
I met a girl there
She looked like the Virgin Mary
She had a tattoo that looked like a gun
I'm sure that there were other people at this party
But I couldn't tell you who and neither could she
She had a stun-gun, a lasso, and a tractor beam
And we were locked on target when I threw away my keys
And I wouldn't trade that night for a sky-blue '57
By seven come eleven we were leanin' on the dawn
Skippin past the salt pillars
Where everybody turns back
Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long gone
Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long-
Lazy drunken moon
Passed out in the branches
A fit of stars in my favorite piece of sky
And the night stood still beside us
We used that perfect moment
To talk about Miami Vice's pilot episode
Cause it really didn't matter
We were already junkies
15 minutes in we were retarded in love
And they say love is like the TV
But it felt more like a cartoon
With a halo of stars and an anvil on my head
And I wouldn't trade that night for a sky-blue '57
By seven come eleven we were leanin' on the dawn
Skippin past the salt pillars
Where everybody turns back
Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long gone
Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long-
Five years have passed now
Like unopened letters
I settled down and took that girl for my wife
We both work hard to feed the children
Our dreams are slowly starving
Nothing scars you deeper than the things you haven't done
But in the cool of the evening
We fall together burning
We never bring up the things we set aside
Cause it was worth all the hard times
Worth all that heartache
Hell, it was worth it all if it was only for that night
And I wouldn't trade that night for a sky-blue '57
By seven come eleven we were leanin' on the dawn
Skippin' past the salt pillars
Where everybody turns back
Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long gone
Hell-bent and heart-first
Hell-bent and heart-first
Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long-
