Gilbert Lyrics - Calexico

Gilbert works alone, late into the night 

dangling from a free way overpass 

he's welding rebar and sculpting concrete 

they're paving in the gap way out west 

in off in the distance, the sleepy city shines 

he raises his mask to take a look 

slip from the perch, still holding onto his torch 

i see him falling just like a burning star 

out of control 

and went drifting way off course 

and went drifting way off course 

waking up confused in a bed of thorn 

and a world turns upside down 

no questions asked, no party ever searched 

like a blip gilbert slips into a void 

a rustle nearby then a vision appears 

made from saguaro boots and rib 

grabs a hold of this prickly hand 

and together they stand 

walk on through the ruins of a world 

that lost control 

and went way off course 

drifting off its course
