|
The country's breathing a sigh of stars |
|
A bitch's baby from a buzzard's egg |
|
American fortune seekers |
|
West coast gold diggers, southern forgetters |
|
There's something wrong |
|
I'm panning for hope in a junk sick river |
|
Trying to find the other two bits on my dollar |
|
Down fault lines and phone lines |
|
On every breath of every dawn |
|
There's something wrong |
|
The Prairie's bearing the vulture's child |
|
The whippoorwill sails on a lonesome call |
|
From the twilight to the horizon |
|
There's something wrong |
|
I'm looking for the jackalope in a burnt out car |
|
In the dirt behind the daydream |
|
Through a window painted on a blackened building |
|
There's something wrong |
|
And the click clack of the freight train goes |
|
This and that, this and that |
|
Till your ears are ringing |
|
And your vision is clouded |
