Badless - Luther's Windows Lyrics
(alexander)Luthers windows are littered with nothingA crystal, a picture, a dead potted sageA dusty white curtain, the nose prints of a dogA shot glass collection from his truck driving daysLuthers bedroom is as hot as an ovenWith air thats as stale as old forgotten breadIn a cage on the dresser theres a parrot that talksBut her name over and over is all that it saysTurn your back to the sunYou see only shadowsLook beneath the starsYou see only nightLike a homesick sailorLuthers standing in the windowWatching the world floating by him tonightLuthers hands once held a chainWith keys to a home and a blue chevroletNow he lives with his mother, steals all her liquorAnd chain smokes and stares at the ceiling for daysTurn your back to the sunYou see only shadowsLook beneath the starsYou see only nightLike a homesick sailorLuthers standing in the windowWatching the world floating by him tonightLuthers sitting by himself on the sofaWith his head bowed down but his eyes are open wideHaving a one man revival with an electronic bibleListening to the parade going byAnd the bass drum is pounding, the trumpets are bleatingAnd hes reading a verse from st. johnA trickle of light seeps through the blindLuther pulls down the shade until he makes up his mindWell, turn your back to the sunYou see only shadowsLook beneath the starsYou see only nightLike a homesick sailorLuthers standing in the windowWatching the world floating by him tonightIts floating by him tonight
