Calexico "Sunken Waltz" |
Washed my face in the rivers of Empire Laid my bed from a cardboard crate Down in a sea of quartz No news, no new regrets Tossed a Susan B. over my shoulder Prayed it would rain and rain Submerge the whole western states Call it a last fair deal With an American seal In corporate handshake Take the story of carpenter Mike Who dropped his tools and his keys and left And headed out as far as he could Past the city and gated neighbourhoods He slept 'neath the stars Wrote down what he dreamt And he built a machine For a-no one to see Then took flight, first light Of the new morning Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
