damien jurado - gork meets the desert monster lyrics
[verse 1]
phillip turns to me and says:
‘is it me, or just the part i play?’
‘having won this industry’s accolades, i see no other option
than to stay in phoenix’
[verse 2]
mother alice in the grocery store
looking through the produce like a moving painting
they moved the bank and the parking lot
taking out the cigarette machine for more seating
[bridge]
maybe you’ll find your way
guided by the northern star
you’ve been away too long
welcome home where you belong
[verse 3]
hard times in the city
i was coughing up a desert and sun
spending my time pushing tables and lines
threatening the directors i’d quit
[verse 4]
got a call from the payphone on the wall
it was henry feeling down on the line
spending my checks, paying my rent
sleeping on the foldout couch
[verse 5]
early to bed
early to rise
living my life with blinders on
it’s tough to see
[verse 6]
and early to bed
early to rise
living my life with blinders on
it’s tough to see
