Red Roadrunner Blues.
Birds by the thousands sitting on a wire
waiting for the news.
All this rain will break the winter heat,
they know this is the news.
Take a little walk in the moonlight, baby,
take a little walk with me.
I saw it up there big and red behind a cloud.
Why should we care?
He said everybody did it but him.
Rachel in her old red miniskirt,
whoring around the streets of uptown.
She's waving and really stopping traffic,
in the warm damp morning.
Still have not written that book for her,
this is just about as close as I have come.
To see it from her point of view,
there she is, that same old dream,
that same old girl I love.
Her hands had blue lines in them like ink,
as she rode on papa bear (with her pearls on).
Magic people were in the alley and on the stairs,
she shuddered as he felt up her hair.
The thing is this here, the void is clear, rhythm of words,
it's all like the sweetness of rain to me.
I can almost remember her eyes green like,
like some set of far away stars.
Take a little walk through the darkness,
and tell me how you got that skill.
You know as well as I do that some people hate,
while others wait.
This is a tough one for us, baby, looks like we won't
make it.
It's you or her and neither is mine.
All the perfect circular visions, I just don't care at all.
I'm just looking for some salty brownies.
