John Wayne

Back full of knots, head floating with astronauts

Tryin' to land on the moon

Everyone of them talks, filled my eyes with Dalmatian sparks

I look for quiet in the under-pews

I took my troubles down to John Wayne

And I watched them fly away

A little worry on my bed, put that monster in my clothes

He said he'll be the guest if I'm willing to host

Because he knows as well I, he's always got a place in my mind

I can keep a secret in my head till it explodes

I took my worries down to John Wayne

And I watched them fly away

I hear a song humming in my walls like a scientist strumming a fuse

Baby, one day I'll hear how the end of that chorus goes and I'll

Feel the dance burning in my shoes

I took my burdens down to John Wayne

And I watched them fly away

People filter through this old town like a colander

And the sky turns silver as a spoon

I draw another face through the window

Watch the sun rise through the nose

I've known how the sadness there, the spirit of June

I took my sadness down to John Wayne

And I watched them fly away
