Sunken Waltz |
| Washed my face in the rivers of empire |
| Made my bed from a cardboard crate |
| Down in the City of Quartz |
| No news, no new regrets |
| Tossed a Susan B. over my shoulder |
| And prayed it would rain and rain |
| Submerge the whole western states |
| Call it a last fair deal |
| With American zeal |
| And corporate handshake |
| Take the story of Carpenter Mike |
| Who dropped his tools and his keys and left |
| And headed out as far as he could |
| Past the cities and gated neighborhoods |
| And he slept neath the stars |
| Wrote down what he dreamt |
| And he built a machine |
| For no one to see |
| Then took flight |
| At first light |
| Of new morning |
