Son Volt - Ten Second News lyrics

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
