Megaton Mile - Local Natives

Climbing up through the window

Up to the rooftop (Up to the rooftop)

The seagulls swarm on the rubble

All we could do was watch (All we could do was watch)

Hit like a sucker punch

That you knew would come

Tell me what I could’ve done

Hold me close at the ending

In a flashing light

It’s darkest after dawn

On Megaton Mile

No alarms or pale 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

Hold me close at the ending

In a flashing light

It’s darkest after dawn

On Megaton Mile

January came and went early

In a flashing light

It’s darkest after dawn

On Megaton Mile

You said it was beautiful

As much as it was terrifying

Hold me close at the ending

In a flashing light

It’s darkest after dawn

On Megaton Mile

Oh, January came and went early

In a flashing light

It’s darkest after dawn

On Megaton Mile
