lyrics

Bright Empty Blue.

Crystal sand sweeping through the beds of the wee green brain-shaped seaweed heads. Shimmering shafts on the sandstone ride with the rhythm of the rockin, rolling tide. The sun's rotating fiber lights the dark world of the cockabully race. Descending without any breath to lie in this wet cradle place. Calling out into that bright empty blue. We'll go into that bright empty blue.
The tire salesman and the checkout girl lying in the sand in a warm embrace. She said 'I got first dibs playing guitar at a Waldronville stock car race. A summer of Sundays seeps into the ground, all of the dairy's have been shut down. Living off the fumes of the coffee factory. And blackbirds sing in the ufo trees. Calling out......
And she said “Rest in your peace, the peace in your heart , the heart that's your home, the home where you roam, darling rest here”
