lyrics

I have the vision of a salmon colored dawn
sometime somewhere very far
you stand before me in tyrannosaurus footprints
a storm forever in your eyes

and I keep on dragging this New Mexico blanket around
I don’t know how to put it down
and you are the colors you are frayed out of your mind
You are six strings buzzing dancing in a line

she’s your sky a bruise dressed in lightning
you’re her night black rainbow

I have the wisdom of the terror in the hall
junkies in their labyrinths and late night phone calls
I slept in Santa Fe tyrannosaurus footprints
I heard my little sister say

she’s your brand new day pirouette plie
you’re her night black rainbow

I have the vision of an infinite plain
sometime somewhere very strange
you sit beside me in the firelight
ending just where it began

and I lay down my New Mexico blanket for the view
of sleeping mesas of me and of you
of dinosaurs fossilized in 1989
cowboy chords buzzing just walking on a line

I’m your sky a bruise dressed in lightning
you’re my night black rainbow
