Midnight Jewelry

I was passing through the bluebonnets

With teenage rattlesnakes all around me

Everybody drunk on the sunshine

With a desperate need to be nowhere at all

I felt a rusted band of gold

Like a tourniquet wrapped around my soul

Caught in the spirit of the times

I was on my way to paradise

But I'm staying right here

Right here with you

I'm out to buy some wind from John Domingo

He pulls it from the sky so high and strange

"The moon is in the man" he always told me

So dust it off, that midnight jewelry

I felt a rusted band of gold

Like a tourniquet wrapped around my soul

Caught in the spirit of the times

I was on my way to paradise

But I'm going all in, all in for you
