"Tulsa Imperative" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

Your momma's failed wheat field
Was a good place to lie down together
Three weeks deep into the guts of summer
We sweat like hogs, and I felt light as a feather
I saw a disk-like object
Reflected in your eye
And the noise grew louder
As we looked up to the sky

[Chorus 1:]
And the sleek silver body
Headlights along the side
And the sleek silver body
Headlights all underneath
I remember the warm air
Blowing in our faces
I remember the heat
Running through me

There was no one worth telling
There was nothing we could do, and I was
Real quiet as I lifted the keys from the kitchen table
I was looking right at you
And your hand brushed against mine
And and it shook me inside as
All along the night sky
I watched our futures collide

[Chorus 2:]
And the car's new headlights
Cut through the darkness
As the oil dripped silently
To the pavement underneath
I remember the warm air
Burning our faces
I remember the heat
Running through me
