LYRICS

Radio waves are coming miles and miles Bringing only empty boats Whatever feeling they had when they sailed Somehow slipped out between the notes
Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Sighing just a little bit
And I was thinking ?bout what Katy done Thinking ?bout what Katy did The fairest daughter of the Pharaoh¹s son Dressed in gold ?neath pyramids
Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Sighing just a little bit

Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise And when you¹re empty there¹s so much space for them You turn it off but then a still small voice Comes in blazing from some vast horizon

And I was thinking ?bout my river days I was thinking ?bout me and Jim Passing Cairo on a getaway With every steamboat like a hymn

Out on the desert now I¹m feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Smiling just a little bit
