Lyrics

[00:17.795] Radio waves are coming miles and miles
[00:24.111] Bringing only empty boats
[00:29.269] Whatever feeling they had when they sailed
[00:35.421] Somehow slipped out between the notes
[00:40.728] Out on the desert now and feeling lost
[00:46.231] The bonnet wears a wire albatross
[00:51.136] onster ballads and the stations of the cross
[00:56.145] Sighing just a little bit
[01:01.252] Sighing just a little bit
[01:05.839] And I was thinking 'bout what Katy done
[01:12.844] Thinking 'bout what Katy did
[01:17.900] The fairest daughter of the Pharaoh's son
[01:24.360] Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids
[01:29.359] Out on the desert now and feeling lost
[01:34.564] The bonnet wears a wire albatross
[01:39.690] Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
[01:44.742] Sighing just a little bit
[01:49.393] Sighing just a little bit
[01:55.193] Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise
[01:59.525] And when you're empty there's so much space for them
[02:05.175] You turn it off but then a still small voice
[02:10.476] Comes in blazing from some vast horizon
[02:14.776]
[03:09.599] And I was thinking 'bout my river days
[03:15.864] I was thinking 'bout me and Jim
[03:21.068] Passing Cairo on a getaway
[03:27.171] With every steamboat like a hymn
[03:31.978] Out on the desert now I'm feeling lost
[03:37.336] The bonnet wears a wire albatross
[03:42.788] Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
[03:47.788] Sighing just a little bit
[03:52.940] Smiling just a little bit
