Traces of the Western Slopes |
We go down round |
The far side of the tracks |
Lolitas playing dominoes and poker |
Behind their daddy’s shacks |
Vacant-eyes, glue-face boys |
On a pearl splashing glass |
If they give us any flack |
If they come up on our ass |
We’ll just give 'em the go-by |
The Cadillac pass |
Take me now |
From the blue and pale room I’d follow |
Through the faces and the traces of |
Treasure I keep hearing inside me |
Madmen throw their voices |
From pretty boys |
And from the best ones |
You pick up connections |
As they hand you your directions |
To the Western Slope |
I lied to my angel so I could take you downtown |
I’d lie to anybody there was nobody else around |
And I know what people say about me |
But I lied to my angel and now he can’t find me |
I’m sorry |
I saw him |
I saw him |
Laughing |
I could hear them |
Laughing |
Alive |
I could hear them |
And Johnny Johnson |
If you dial in |
They’re calling from the Western Slope |
Who’s the thin thread of light |
That keeps you strangled in the scenery |
That follows my voice --- can you se me? |
Then follow my voice |
Who raised this banner? |
That no one hears --- The Jack |
Beneath the axis |
Digging under the current |
Someone’s trying to get back |
But who’s qualified to retrieve |
The soul’s enduring song? |
From the grottos of her eyes |
And the clashing stars |
And Johnny Johnson |
If you dial in |
They’re calling from the Western Slope |
Who’s the thin thread of light |
That keeps you strangled in the scenery |
That follows my voice --- can you se me? |
Then follow my voice --- see me? |
