gillian welch - april 14th, part i lyrics

Loading...

when the iceberg hit
oh, they must have known
god moves on the water
like casey jones

so i walked downtown
on my telephone
and took a lazy turn
through the redeye zone

it was a five-band bill
a two-dollar show
i saw the van out in front
from idaho

and the girl p-ssed out
in the backseat trash
there was no way they’d make
even a half a tank of gas

they looked sick and stoned
and strangely dressed
no one showed
from the local press

but i watched ’em walk
through the bottom land
and i wished i played
in a rock ‘n’ roll band

hey, hey
it was the fourteenth day of april

well they closed it down
with the sails in rags
and the swept up the f-gs
and the local rags

threw the plastic cups
in the plastic bags
and the cooks cleaned the kitchen
with the staggers and the jags

ruination day
and the sky was red
i went back to work
and back to bed

and the iceberg broke
and the okies fled
and the great emanc-p-tor
took a bullet in the back of the head
