bill callahan – pigeons lyrics
[verse 1]
h+llo, i’m johnny cash
well, the pigeons ate the wedding rice
and exploded somewhere over san antonio
i picked up the newlyweds and asked them
where they wanted to go
they said “we don’t care, we don’t know, anywhere, just go”
ever since i’ve gotten married i started
working weddings driving this long white limo
it had their ceremony in bracketville
at that phony alamo
they were 30 miles from the border of mexico
[verse 2]
well, they’re in the back laughing at some uncle named jack
who got too drunk during his speech
the tears started to flow
[verse 3]
well, they looked like a match
so i stopped looking for cracks in their road and just drove
outside of [?], the groom noticed the gold band on my left hand
and said “you got any advice for us, old man?”
[verse 4]
well, i thought for a mile while i drove with a smile
and i said when you are dating you only see each other
and the rest of us can go to h+ll
but when you are married, you are married to the whole wide world
the rich and the poor
the sick and the well
the straights and g+ys
and the people who say we don’t use these terms these days
the salt and the soil
[verse 5]
i tried to say my piece
we drove on in silence for a spell
how my words had gone over, i couldn’t tell
potent advice or preachy as h+ll
but when i see people about to marry
i became something of a planet potentiary
i just think it’s good as you probably can tell
[verse 6]
went to adams from the big bang
get back together with the old gang
i dropped them at a fancy dancy boutique hotel
and i drive off alone, but i’m not alone
[outro]
sincerely, l comb
