bright future
bright pink
bright light in my eyes
all these desert cities
giant heart
down in this dust
fell to the earth
at a fascinating speed
further up
in the ponderosa
the nervous coyotes caterwaulin'
their choruses foreboding
couldn't you've stayed on the ground
couldn't you've stayed on your feet
but your mind was wound so tightly
always bold and wise and unsettling
i live in your tall trees amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future
the night is patient
the night's a glass dome
the night is still and cold
but this desert can turn
your restless mind
was born in a flash
and you lived in these clouds
with light day in your feet
yes your mind was wound so tightly
always bold and wise and unsettling
i live in your tall trees amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future
