  • Hair blowing in the hot wind
    Time hanging from a clothes pin
    There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna help

    Smell the leather of your new car
    Drive through the desert after night fall
    Sleep on the shoulder keep the stars all to ourselves

    The kinda love that makes my back hurt
    Wearing nothing but a t-shirt
    She's turning over on a mattress made of air

    I close my eyes I see a stair case
    Leading upwards into blank space
    All of creation makes a sound too soft to hear

    So I remain between her legs
    Sheltered from all my fears
    While bikers glide by highway shrines
    Where pilgrims disappear

    I know that trouble's been your good friend
    Keep you company on the weekends
    Keep you company even once your mind was made

    Said it's over and it's finished
    Now a headache is all you're left with
    We're no different I got debts I'd like to pay

    We should move to Sausalito
    Living's easy on a house boat
    Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep

    In the morning with the sunrise
    Look in the water see the blue sky
    As if heaven has been laid there at our feet

    So we remain between these waves
    Sheltered for all our years
    While bikers glide by highway shrines
    Where pilgrims disappear

    Where time takes icebergs
    Where fields burn westward
    Where pilgrims disappear Writer/s: CONOR OBERST
