Dizzy - Throwing Muses

Along the Palo Duro canyon

Red River shows so many eyes

One eye squnting shading from the sun

Shoot me

Black as oil, his hair shone

Lily white, his skin glistened

Restless as the reed between his lips blew

It’s just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

«What day is this?»

I quietly asked the sky

«What time is it?»

he asked me, sitting up

Love that villain on the run

He’s got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

«What are you running from?»

I asked the white boy

«From the guys who chased me there;

come run

I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car

Light up my cigar, I’ll light you.»

It’s just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

Love that villain on the run

He’s got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy

In my head

He said «You're only Indian in Oklahoma

You could be melting in America

White on red, melt with my skin

These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel

I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car

Light up my cigar, I’ll light you.»

It’s just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

The last I saw of Oklahoma

A gas station fading in the dusk

«Goodbye my father,» I thought, «I'm carrying the light

The light of my Comanche

Make sure the dog remembers me

I dream the sand beneath your feet

I hold the light.»

It’s just that mean old Texas sun

It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

Love that villain on the run

He’s got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy

Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy

In my head
