Country Disappeared Lyrics - Wilco (the Album) - Wilco

Wake up we're here 

It's so much worse than we feared 

There's nothing left here 

The country has disappeared 

If the winter trees bleeding, leave red blood 

The summer sweet dreaming, April blush 

But none of that is ever gonna mean as much to me again. 

Hold out your hand, 

There's so much you don't understand 

So stick as close as you can, 

All of the best laid plans 

You've got the white clouds hanging so high above you 

You've got the helicopters dangling angling to shoot, 

The shots to feed the hungry weekend news crew anchorman. 

So every evening we can watch from above, 

Crushed cities like a bug 

Fold ourselves into each others guts, 

And turn our faces up to the sun. 

I won't take no 

I won't let you go 

All by yourself 

Oh no you'll need my help 

When the cold night shakes you like a chandelier 

The snowflakes break through the atmosphere, 

And melt on the blue breath of the auctioneers and disappear.
