Sunbathers

They say the train leaves at night

We were lying in beds, fingers tangled in the wires

The four ways blocked by august corn

Better board up the windows, hide the gold inside the barn

I swear I hear her in the field

The drifters sneaking past the gates and looking for your steel

The rumors spread throughout the school

Of a saber tooth tiger swimming in an empty pool

She was the river that collapsed the dam

She's walking on my land

Bows and arrows travel speed of light

You keep propping up kids, they're gonna suffocate the fire

You go deeper in the woods, your signal never gets higher

And the pictures kept moving around the school

Of a wholly mammoth sunbathing by the pool

And the saber tooth smiling for the pictures looking cool

And the wooly mammoth sunbathes by the pool

And they mix within moonlight where the lonely hearts move

And I hope I get baptized in a lake

Or coked up Greenwich Village

Or a Mardi Gras parade

Time is a new morning wrapped in weeds

Yeah, time means nothing if you can dream

Time is everything in between

I heard the train

Leaves at night

Leaves at night

Hale bop's coming, better put your best shoes on

Hale bop's coming, better put your best shoes on

We walked to the river singing whole lotta love

We walked to the river singing whole lotta love

We walked to the river singing whole lotta love

I heard the train

Leaves at night
