Birdcages and Bad Rivers
Mystic
Cowboys
I
heard a crash in my dream fan fell to the floor
Had
the whiskey sweats from the night before
I
heard a train and remembered putting pennies on a track
Make
a necklace for you just in case that you come back
Well
it’s just too hot to think about you today
It’s
just too hot to think about you today
We’ll
it’s still too hot to think about you tonight
Still
too hot to think about you tonight
I
can’t seem to cry watching too much John Wayne
Maybe
I should just step in front of that train
Sweating
like a grave digger been shoveling all day
You
might return so I’ve got to stay
It’s
just too hot to think about you today
It’s
just too hot to think about you today
Still
too hot to think about you tonight
Still
too hot to think about you tonight
Shadows and dreams are the color of smoke in the rainbow
And
a chain of failure and fear just won’t let me go
A
moth on the lampshade with burned wings still wants the light
But
it’s still too hot to think about you tonight
It’s
just too hot to think about you today
Well
it’s just too hot to think about you today
It’s
still too hot to think about you tonight
Still
too hot to think about you tonight
Just
too hot to think about you today
It’s
just too hot to think about you today
And
it’s still too hot to think about you tonight
Thunder
lightening and rain
Somehow
I smile
Still too hot to think about you tonight
