A man came up from town with a pale look in his eyes
The turquoise oceans once in there were like the dying skies
The skies over ancient deserts where towns cried, "Lay me down"
And the wrinkles of war like hieroglyphics on the face of a man
Who came from town
A man came up from town with thunder in his chest
And the brain-heart cry that made him gentle now had come to rest
The rest of stone cliff houses where the Mojave went to sleep
And the man who came from town looked
Thirsty and the works of his words came cheap
The town came up from man with children close behind
And the shadows of the walls in the
Summertime didn't let their pretty eyes shine
Shine like the eyes of cheetahs who run to the center of the earth
And the children came from man and so they cursed his birth
A man came up from town, oh, with a lady on his breath
The lady was the flesh of life, but she wore a cloak of death
A cloak his fingers could not weave, a robe that knew no crown
And he sipped my stew and he said, "
Thank you," and the man went back to town
The turquoise oceans once in there were like the dying skies
The skies over ancient deserts where towns cried, "Lay me down"
And the wrinkles of war like hieroglyphics on the face of a man
Who came from town
A man came up from town with thunder in his chest
And the brain-heart cry that made him gentle now had come to rest
The rest of stone cliff houses where the Mojave went to sleep
And the man who came from town looked
Thirsty and the works of his words came cheap
The town came up from man with children close behind
And the shadows of the walls in the
Summertime didn't let their pretty eyes shine
Shine like the eyes of cheetahs who run to the center of the earth
And the children came from man and so they cursed his birth
A man came up from town, oh, with a lady on his breath
The lady was the flesh of life, but she wore a cloak of death
A cloak his fingers could not weave, a robe that knew no crown
And he sipped my stew and he said, "
Thank you," and the man went back to town
