"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 Where the feed store was half fallen down Red paint flaked off, red leaves gone brown And 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 But we couldn’t see the Marfa lights. We’re gonna have to sit through our lives twice First a tragedy, 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 he’s Chaplin for his rat friends. To the girl in 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 Everybody’s full to bursting, and gonna pop Ready for the breaking & burning And certain of a bigger kind of love."
