Old 97's - Western Stars Lyrics

Old 97's Lyrics

"Western Stars"

In this quiet house on this country road
It goes tick tick tick but it don't explode
I was drunk with delight now I'm just drunk
By the time you get to heaven baby you're sunk

I wanna roll I wanna climb the rocks
Grab the western stars and tie 'em up in knots

How dull it is to pause to end
To sleepwalk and wake again
I am dynamite with a unlit fuse
I wanna blow it up I wanna shine in use

I wanna glow I wanna split the skies
Steal the western stars and hide 'em in my eyes

Nobody knows me here
This idle king
Nobody knows me here
Nobody knows anything

The long day wanes the slow moon climbs
The voices moan and one of them is mine
Weaker now but strong in will
Sick to death of sitting still

I wanna ride beyond the bounds
Grab the western stars before the whistle sounds

Nobody knows me here
This idle king
Nobody knows me here
Nobody knows anything
Nobody knows me here
This idle king
Nobody knows me here
Nobody knows anything

In this quiet house on this country road
It goes tick tick tick but it don't explode
