Monster Ballads Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Radio waves are coming miles and miles 

Bringing only empty boats 

Whatever feeling they had when they sailed 

Somehow slipped out between the notes 

Out on the desert now and feeling lost 

The bonnet wears a wire albatross 

Monster ballads and the stations of the cross 

Sighing just a little bit 

Sighing just a little bit

And I was thinking about what Katy done 

Thinking about what Katy did 

The fairest daughter of the Pharaoh's son 

Dressed in gold beneath pyramids 

Out on the desert now and feeling lost 

The bonnet wears a wire albatross 

Monster ballads and the stations of the cross 

Sighing just a little bit 

Sighing just a little bit 

Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise 

And when you're empty there's so much space for them 

You turn it off but then a still small voice 

Comes in blazing from some vast horizon 

And I was thinking about my river days 

I was thinking about me and Jim 

Passing Cairo on a getaway 

With every steamboat like a hymn 

Photos 

Out on the desert now 

I'm feeling lost 

The bonnet wears a wire albatross 

Monster ballads and the stations of the cross 

Sighing just a little bit 

Smiling just a little bit
