And I was thinking about my river days
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Whatever feeling they had when they sailed
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Sighing just a little bit, sighing just a little bit
Somehow slipped out between the notes
Ones and zeroes, bleeding mesa noise
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Comes in blazing from some vast horizon
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Out on the desert now I'm feeling lost
I was thinking about me and Jim
And I was thinking about what Katy done
Out on the desert now and feeling lost
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
And when you're empty there's so much space for them
Dressed in gold beneath pyramids
The fairest daughter of the Pharaoh's son
Sighing just a little bit, sighing just a little bit
Passing Cairo on a getaway
You turn it off but then a still small voice
Thinking about what Katy did
With every steamboat like a hymn
Out on the desert now and feeling lost
