David Olney - The Colorado Kid lyrics

The Colorado Kid is moving at the speed of light Fast as fate he fades into the darkest heart of night And everything that went before is soon enough behind him Except the visions in his head that serve only to remind him Of other days and other nights and other arms that held him Of longing looks and loving sighs and other lies she'd tell him La la la la la la Was it love or was it pure obsession Come on, Kid, make your confession Then you can make your getaway Tell it straight or you'll wind up in a tangle Are those the lights of Durango Or just the light of another day The Colorado Kid is moving at the speed of d**h Slow and hard and painful as the laboring of his breath Alamosa, Purgatory, up to Colorado Springs Higher always higher til the blood inside him sings Of other rooms and cheap perfume and the sweet smell of her sweat Of all the nights that went before he knows he can't forget La la la la la Was it love or was it pure obsession Come on, Kid, make your confession Then you can make your getaway Tell it straight or you'll wind up in a tangle Are those the lights of Durango Or just the light of another day
