lyrics

places keep their memories as they sleep they hum melodies they come to us as ghosts and dangers you should belong here but you are a stranger we are dirt and voltage by the time i'd realized you had without speaking taught me the true nature of things i was halfway across the country hitching a ride out of taos with a saxohpone on my back thinking where the hell am i and what the hell did i come down off the mountain for knowing anyhow i had brought the mountain down with me and would in time return to craft up there in the fog from the shambles of earthly struggle and heartbreak a reason not to sleep through judgement day mississippi rolls by all refuse in technicolor as we slug shine that steams off the tongue and leaves a reptilian sheen on our bloodshot eyes and if it's in the north winter of the fairweathers where we finally see each other again we'll tie ourselves together against the dark and trek down into the valley to bask in the glow of a third human face and if it's oklahoma in the spring i'll hold the door against the tornado and wait for you with candles and wine ready in the basement we'll finally have a chance to learn from one another and if that day never does come a thousand starving playwrights will take to stage and shout so it shall be over the heads of an audience in standing ovation and a kick from the mule who shook the yoke will set the sun reeling eastward and i'll remember how you told me once to close my eyes and just listen bury it deep if you want it found true gold lives underground as we age we hone our craft old hands weaving yarns in the mineshaft we are dirt and voltage bury me deep i might come back bury me deep i might come back bury me deep i might come back bury me deep i will come back.
