Red Mountain Blues

Said you'd meet me down at Union Square

Where everybody likes to stop and stare

You were trembling with the fear of God

Just guns and anti-vax in your backyard

"You're one good thing in a dying world"

I bet you say that to all the girls

But when you're sinkin', you can dive for pearls

Oh, you're a dreamer sleeping through the storm

It's just a curious spirit

Like a genius all across the board

It's how you make your way through it

Found you sleeping in a bar in town

Just before all the shit went down

We shared a ciggy in the howlin' rain

You opened up over cheap champagne

"You're one good thing in a dying world"

I bet you say that to all the girls

Something's happening, I thought you'd heard?

Oh, you're a dreamer sleepin' through the storm

He's just a curious spirit

Like a genius all across the board

It's how you make your way through it
