song: Dressed for the Drought
lyrics:
DRESSED FOR THE DROUGHT
(J. Souza)
i met an old forest ranger
in a naugahyde bar
after the whisky
then he told me true
he said i never had a tree
bold lie to me
the way them there
bush's do
now you're walking
like you're tumbling
north over south
you look like you've been
punched in the mouth
all the flowers
on the neon avenue
are perfectly dressed for the drought
perfectly dressed for the drought
we're not impressed
when the truth comes out
we don't care anymore
we don't know where to begin
we're perfectly dressed for the drought
we're in
i day dreamed a home movie
where the troubadour dies
and when my life
flashed before my eyes
it took less than a minute
because you were not in it
i would like you
to apologize
when they found the dead dream
buried under my house
this little town began to
twist and shout
my whole world was locked
inside a cuckoo clock
and i vanished
in a shadow of doubt
