Fat Tuesday came and went and it’s a general truth of course// in every little hotel bar// still Mardi Gras// A sign quotes a bible verse// illuminates the street across// from where we lay// on that Ash Wednesday
And when you talk of Louisiana// you smiled and danced in every second line// that night I dream of Louisiana// And blackbirds falling from the sky// a million blackbirds falling from the sky
Good Friday came and went and it’s a general truth of course// I got a little railroad spine// still crash from time to time// A surgeon’s hand // a sniper’s eye// and 1000 other thin disguises we invoke// running from coast to coast//
And when you talk of Carolina// you smile just like you did on sunset beach // that night I dream of Carolina// I see a skyline black with burning trees// an endless skyline // black with burning trees//
Palm Sunday came and went and it’s a general truth of course// I wear my disbelief// like some kind of grief// A casino smile, an alibi// like the shot you take you can’t take twice// to cheat the odds// you can’t outdraw the gods//
And when you talk of Nova Scotia// every place we’ve ever been before// that night I dream of Nova Scotia// I see an ocean// swallowing the shore// an angry ocean// swallowing the shore//
Whitsunday came and went and it’s a general truth of course// the mechanism of my heart//still bears your witness marks//a sky bright with satellites//your locust days devour my nights// and what do I do with that//somethings you can’t take back//
And when you talk of California// the songs we stole from the Santa Anna Winds// at night I dream of California// I see a desert where Eden used to be//an empty where Eden used to be - and endless desert between you and me ..
Fat Tuesday came and went and it’s a general truth of course// in every little hotel bar// it’s still Mardi Gras/
