"Dakota" lyrics - STEEL TRAIN

Please remember the nights that we spent
In the city where you lay
We were young and nearly famous
But lightning strikes, buildings fall
And everything did change

Come on, Dakota
Tell me you don't wish I was still the same

I know a man dressed as a woman
Heels, curly wig and nails
Fell for a boy who sold him powder and pills
And the younger boy
With the older man
He made it all wrong

And in Dakota, these awful things burn away with the sun
Yes, in Dakota, these awful things are gone with morning sun

There was a boy who sang his song, just different
So they stabbed him in the arms
Blood washed down him like a faucet
He cried for help
And no one came
He died in the rain

And in Dakota, one day, he will wake up unchanged
Yes, in Dakota, one day, you will wake up unchained

Please remember the nights we spent alone
In the city where you lay
We are young and nearly famous
But thunder cracks and buildings burn
Everything will change

Come on, Dakota
I know we can always be the same
And in Dakota, I know we can always be the same
Yes, in Dakota, it's okay to feel a little strange
