Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Raise a black-heeled sky
Put it up to the moon
Shaking the sand from your mind
[Verse 2]
Delay, dead of night
When you reach for the Baedeker
Leather bound book from another time
[Verse 3]
Red line for railroad, black line for river
Carving the country, sweet bread and liver
Maps that tell secrets, maps that run backward
Learn to be lost now, learn to be shattered
[Verse 4]
A dream where you don't feel right
On your knees in an open field
Startled by silence you don't recognize
[Verse 5]
And white light on a thousand lakes
Like piles of glass that someone breaks
Before the barefoot contortionist
Makes a grand debut and blood leaks
From the frozen moon
You think about the wound
And wonder who will die
[Verse 6]
Amber Nebraska, pink Minnesota
Mint green for Kansas, blue North Dakota
Red line for railroad, black line for river
Carving the country, sweet bread and liver
[Verse 7]
Raise a black-heeled sky
Put it up to the moon
Shaking the sand from your mind
