lyrics

my girlfriend was fired today
by a dumb man in the dumbest fucking way
he's lucky i don't know where he lives
got a couple things to say on why i'm
a little pissed off

napping in a las vegas motel
circus dreams from the bottom of a well
she asked, when we grow old, will we come alive?
and promised the desert wind would be
enough to ride off

you call to say the past is now the rest
the lighting's cheap on our broken little mess
i think you thought i knew exactly how to speak
i'm suddenly acrobatically deciding
how to be better off

i could tell you that i don't mind
in the same way that a ghost
ignores the walls
since you burned the house down
i'm wondering, why was i
invited in at all?

i could tell you it'll be just fine
every glowing star will fade out
in the end
funny how the garden of your dreams
is warm while we shiver in
the same desert sun

i could tell you how i'm sorry
in the same way feet in floods
desire the floor
from the canyon ridge, i bet you think you see
the fools who stood too long
where they stood before

i could tell you hey, it's no big deal
gonna play the hand we're dealt
or else give in
with a full house in your clutch
my window's down, fingers
flying through the desert wind
