Curse

Drinking water on the prairie

It dries quick on your lips

And I feel I need this

Now I curse myself in turquoise, and I curse myself in white

Looking at the gaslight, you turned to me, you said

"Can we, can we get this right?"

I know I wasn't your best friend, but I always listened well

Laying in the motel

But I curse myself in silver, and I curse myself in white

As the magpies took flight

I said, "Did I, did I, did I

Did I hear that right?"

Shine on, Capricorn, for me, and I'll give up real soon

You see different stars to me, they're nothing like the moon

Since I was a kid, I've heard my answers in those tunes

I think you heard too

That sky was real blue

I said, "Did you?"

I think you heard too

Shine on, Capricorn, for me, and I'll give up real soon

You see different stars to me, they're nothing like the moon

Since I was a kid, I've heard my answers in those tunes

I think you heard too

That sky was real blue

I said, "Did you?"

I think you heard too

You drank water on the prairie

You drank seldom in the bars

Didn't care much for the ceiling

So you lay under the stars

I wear something 'round my neck now

And it's in the shape of you

Well, maybe not exactly

There's so much I never knew

Shine on, Capricorn, for me, and I'll give up real soon

You see different stars to me, they're nothing like the moon

Since I was a kid, I've heard my answers in those tunes

I think you heard too

There is no undo

I said, "Did you?"

I think you heard too
