lyrics

"My DISCO BALL"

I took the weekend off from the city, thin and crispy
To the foot of this tree
The cottonwood—"the dreaming tree"
Woah, these leaves are shimmery

Saw a rat in the alternator belt of a Cadillac Escalade
Right off Flatbush
Long black trails through the concrete bayou
Runnin' on Dunkin

Have you ever seen the sparks of a channel cat flippin'
Up from the bottom and into the day?
Yeah, that's my disco ball
Muddy water and bright sunshine, sublime

Surfed the plumes of a mile-deep runaway oil rig
Deep Texas tea
And black-capped waves breakin on the marshes
"The blood of the earth"

Have you ever seen the sparks of a channel cat flippin'
Up from the bottom and into the day?
Yeah, that's my disco ball
Muddy water and hard, bright sunshine intertwined
