Meat Puppets Lyrics

"Away" lyrics



It's righteousness is shining
It walks on ruby shoes
There's not too much of nothing
You cannot make it do
I cross the muddy river
To dig a diamond mine
I got a good thing working
On diamond mining time
I got some cotton candy
I got a spool of thread
I'm gonna weave a basket
And put it on my head
Inside the mighty basket
I carry rattlesnakes
You got to be a monkey
To see the sense it makes
DRY RAIN
You said you'd make it grow
You said you'd make it green
But I see dusty fields
Broken rock is all I see
And all around me
I see your storm clouds
Another lies about to fall
It seemed like it was real
Felt like water to my skin
But I stepped through the rainbow
And saw the desert deep within
And all around me
Are roaring waters
But I won't let me
Be swept away
And all around me
I see the Pharaohs
I see collections
Of hats and guns
