Lyrics Dizzy - Throwing Muses

Dizzy

Along the Palo Duro canyon
Red River shows so many eyes
One eye squnting shading from the sun
Shoot me
Black as oil, his hair shone
Lily white, his skin glistened
Restless as the reed between his lips blew
It’s just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
«What day is this?»
I quietly asked the sky
«What time is it?»
he asked me, sitting up
Love that villain on the run
He’s got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
«What are you running from?»
I asked the white boy
«From the guys who chased me there;
come run
I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I’ll light you.»
It’s just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love that villain on the run
He’s got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
In my head
He said «You're only Indian in Oklahoma
You could be melting in America
White on red, melt with my skin
These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel
I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I’ll light you.»
It’s just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
The last I saw of Oklahoma
A gas station fading in the dusk
«Goodbye my father,» I thought, «I'm carrying the light
The light of my Comanche
Make sure the dog remembers me
I dream the sand beneath your feet
I hold the light.»
It’s just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love that villain on the run
He’s got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
In my head
