Snakeheads |
Weather cell from northern Canada |
Due in before the afternoon is over |
Brown cows in the fields |
Eating their way slowly through the clover |
And the canopy of apple trees before us |
Symmetrical and pure as a pagoda |
Me and Lee Charm from Chicago in a U-Haul |
Headed out through western Minnesota |
Headed for the islands |
Headed for the islands |
Our load is heavy, you can hear it shifting |
Say what you like, I’m never going to stop |
Everyone will eat when we’ve arrived |
White apple blossoms soften up the blacktop |
Two days from now we’ll get to where we’re going |
The western sky will pitch-correct its winding |
Our cargo’s going to spill out from the cabin |
And rub its eyes and see the silver lining, yeah, yeah |
Headed for the islands |
Headed for the islands |
