Watching the orange clouds


Go ahead and holler for help
No one's going to save you
The voices that were hired to protect
Only betray you
Now it seems it's all going down
And I'm just standing on
A balcony outside of town
Watching the orange clouds

The kids are in their bedrooms asleep
And I don't wanna wake them
From some dreams that I hope are sweet
These days have shaken them
Walking in our daydreams
Needing some awakening
From the privilege of skin and the seat
At the table that's awaiting them

Across the Burnside Bridge
There's heads getting bashed and teargas
Boys too stupid to really be proud
Watching the orange clouds
Watching the orange clouds

And I'm trying really hard to find a way
To help to make it all better
As I struggle on how and if I should share
These stories that are so upsetting
But I'm starting to doubt my own facility
Of even comprehending my place
It's too late to try for shelter
As the helicopters give it away
Give it away

Sure wish I could get some sleep
Just didn't realize
This bottom is so damned deep
Hoping one day we'll rise
And move onto some better place
We can look back on nightmares
Of this endless spring
Watching the orange clouds
Watching the orange clouds

And I'm trying really hard to find a way
To help to make it all better
I'm trying really hard to find a way
To help to make it all better
I'm trying really hard to find a way
To help to make it all better
I'm trying really hard to find a way

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Drive-By Truckers are an American band of alternative country music based in Athens, Georgia. Although three members out of six (Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood and Shonna Tucker) are originally from the Shoals region of Northern Alabama, the band has deep roots in the Southern US music scene. Their sound is characterized by a "three axe attack", meaning three guitars alongside bass and drums. Like many other alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch tape). Unlike most of their contemporaries, however, they have consistently pushed their labels to also release their records on vinyl. Some of their most representative songs include "Decoration Day", "The Boys From Alabama" and "Carl Perkins' Cash".
