• Marfa Lights

We stood out in the field all night
But we never saw the Marfa lights
Stared up at the stars all night
We couldn't see the Marfa lights

Bath salts under basalt pillars
In the darkness outside town
There was a feed store, half fallen down
Red paint flaked off, red leaves gone brown
The sap had all been boiled down

Feed the paw
Eat the garlic raw
Defend the truth of what you saw
Stay above the law

We stood out in the field all night
But we never saw the Marfa lights
Stared up at the stars all night
We couldn't see the Marfa lights
We're gonna have to sit through our lives twice
First a tragedy and then a heist
First a comedy and then a farce
First the film and then the theatre arts

A rat ate my T-shirt while I slept
That's fine. I got too many black t-shirts
A white rat can have one
And play like Chaplin for his rat friends.
To the girl in the short skirt
Black tights and the Converse
Toes turned in, hugging herself with one hand
A drink in the other, like it's a burden

Well, everybody's hurting, I know
Everybody's thwarted, I know
Everybody's working toward a bigger kind of love
Everybody's cursing their lot
Full to bursting, gonna pop
Ready for the breaking & burning
And certain of a bigger kind of love.
