Valium
Lyrics
Well, I'm at a motel on the border of Utah and Colorado
There's an old John Wayne movie on, I think it's John Wayne
The bride is being carried away on horseback
And into the darkening horizon
The soft murmur of strings and the lowing of distant cattle
Is like valium for the national conscious
Valium
Valium
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
My happiness is touch and go
Kind of like this motel's HBO
Been sitting here flipping through the channels
A presidential debate
A split second later, a picture perfect dinner emerges from an oven
Yeah, that rattle snake never stood a chance
Against the likes of Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
But the night is too silent to sleep
So I'm standing now in the dust of the road, contemplating heaven
I must have been lost on some kind of excursion up the Colorado
I think her name was Marilyn
But I don't remember anything else about her
Except that her hair smelled of gunpowder
That's it for tonight, signing off
Signing off
Marilyn
Marilyn
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
Valium
Valium
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
(Warmly beating heart)
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
