Ten Second News - Son Volt

When you find what matters is what you feel

It arrives and it disappears

Driving down sunny 44 highway

There’s a beach there known for cancer

Waiting to happen

When you’re out across the county line

The news travels slower than a ten-second buzz

But only you’ll ever know

Cause day by day it disappears

Only you’ll ever know

And it’s hard enough soaking up billboard signs

You scorch and drown alive, never knowing why

The levee gates are open wide

There’s a cough in the water and it’s running into town

Bright eyes, don’t change, stay the same

There must be an answer for what keeps it going on

But only you’ll ever know

Cause day by day it disappears

Only you’ll ever know, only you’ll ever know

Cause day by day it disappears

Only you’ll ever know
