The Loveblisters
The Loveblisters - The Nowhere West songtekst
Je score:
His joker card was limp like whiskey His two of hearts was stiff but willing He bet it all with his slumlord guise For a left handed girl who never got it right Where the vertebrates of the blue-blood giants Are history beneath the flatlands Growing wheatgrass to fit the drifter's teeth, And the sky a chamber-choir you can hear the angels sing: "What a sight for his scrap-yard eyes! Oh why, Wyoming, why won't you ease His shangri-la dreams under land-lock and key?" "Oh land of milk and honey!" Shy, shy, shy, Cheyenne, makes him wish Washington was where he was from. " Why, oh why, did I believe those ghost town merchants Painting deserts green?" Now he's stretched and slain across her bent lonesome plains. "So lift me up boys, lift me up boys. Lift me up boys, lift me up boys, And don't let me down til' the Lord deals a better hand." When she blushes out a sigh of sunshine He is but an echo of a treacherous heaven far above This nowhere west with no one left to love.
