Daydream

Verse 1

If you wear that desert dress
I’ll put on my moonshine shoes
And we can dance intoxicated through New Orleans to Jehovah Jazz.

We see the music in a thunderstorm
I breathe on you and it keeps me warm.
I’m a honkey-tonk prophet you’re a beatnik ballerina in blue.

In Los Angeles it’s snowing again.
Now the poetry is my only friend.
And I pray and say to Jesus “Will you come and stop the bleeding for me?”

And He’s showing me a person
That I’m too damned tired to be.

Far away across the scarlet sea
Overwhelmed by a memory
Like a tiny photograph that she keeps inside of her heart.

And he’s wonderin’ how long
They can stand just bein’ apart.

Chorus
Daydream of me.
Daydream of me.
Daydream of me and I might just come home.
I might just come home.

Verse 2
Settin’ sun on Arizona land
I pull over on the highway and
It’s iridescent on the sand giving birth to the rainbow blues.

My broken heart’s in San Francisco
Butterflying in cathedrals of booze.

Chorus (2x)
Daydream of me.
Daydream of me.
Daydream of me and I might just come home.
I might just come home.

Verse 3
Drove forty hours from New York to the 10.
Hollywood said it’ll be my friend.
It’s been a deathbed, pill-fed, daydream deficient, rebirth.

And I’m the only Hollywood, Hillbilly, Heartbroken
Daydreamer on Earth.

about

St. Anthony and The Mystery Train Durham, North Carolina

A band of storytellers taking cues from the magical realism of Tom Waits, the free-associations of Bob Dylan, and the misfit spirituals of Johnny Cash. The stories inside the music are best described as a stream of Southern-Gothic consciousness, short pieces of theatre in which every musician, playing a combination of garage rock, blues, & country, is a "character." ... more
