Paroles de Sioux Falls

Roads run away to reflected glare

No use the map pocked with coffee stains

Crumpled in my lap all that still remains
Of the course which yesterday seemed to funnel the very air



Straight through Sioux Falls in the caves and you've seen the buffalo

Sioux Falls in the days you knew your words you knew where to go



Crease of the page new rip in the script

Jars us awake from dreaming now to sew or not to sew

And I can hear your silence screaming who are we to know

In this day and age navigation's been outstripped by these roads


Saloons of Sioux Falls and you've seen the cavalry

Drinking with Boone Davy and Paul singing songs of liberty



Me and my Rolls Royce we took the long way home

So many perfect names ringing of distant shores and beginners luck

But they all looked the same tired thrift stores too many trucks

All drowning out your voice over the pay phone



What're you saying

What is it you're saying

I can't tell what you're saying



Put down the phone and lets get married Babe

Just look at us falling prey

To a country's worth of window shopping

And what are we looking for

I'll pick you up no sense in stopping

We'll push on against the sun up to the shore

Onto the ferry

Then away we'll sail away



We'll sail to Sioux Falls yeah

We'll sail to Sioux Falls yeah

We'll sail to Sioux Falls yeah

We'll sail to Sioux Falls



Crumpled in my lap all that still remains

Of the course which yesterday seemed to funnel the very air
