Jim Caroll - Desert Town Lyrics
I hitched a ride to a desert town(I never planned this trip)I saw my past in the sun like a tongue(that slowly dripped)People faced me with lazarus eyesThey were red and dazed like fat horse fliesI was lost in twelve directionsI was searching for my own reflectionIn a desert town I foundA future old and broke like roman ruinsI been turned around its trueThe postage past is dueThis heat is twisted like a knifeI got the picture but I lost the frame(where did it begin)Thought I was holy but thats not the caseIm just too tired to sinSun glistening like a frightened fistThis latitude doesnt existIn a desert town I foundNothing is going to be the way it shouldWhat I thought I lost I could get backTake the blade and hack my way back to another dayInstant that, instant this, instant that, instant this . . .In a desert town I foundA future old and broke like roman ruinsI been turned around its trueThe postage past is dueThis heat is twisting like a knifeIn a desert town the soundWhispers like like the women at the wellIn this dry high wind I bendLike a cactus in the sandIm waiting, waiting for your hand
