Sunken Waltz Lyrics - Calexico

Washed my face in the rivers of empire, 

made my bed from a cardboard crate, 

down in the City of Quartz. 

No news, no new regrets. 

Tossed a Susan B. over my shoulder, 

and prayed it would rain and rain, 

submerge the whole western states. 

Call it a last fair deal 

with American zeal 

and corporate handshake.

Take the story of Carpenter Mike, 

who dropped his tools and his keys and left 

and headed out as far as he could, 

past the cities and gated neighborhoods. 

And he slept neath the stars, 

wrote down what he dreamt, 

and he built a machine 

for no one to see. 

Then took flight, at first light 

of new morning.
