Josh Ritter – Monster Ballads lyrics
[Verse 1]
Radio waves are coming miles and miles
Bringing only empty boats
Whatever feeling they had when they sailed
Somehow slipped out between the notes
[Chorus]
Out on the desert now and feeling lost
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Sighin' just a little bit
Sighin' just a little bit
[Verse 2]
And I was thinking ’bout what Katy done
Thinking ’bout what Katy did
The fairest daughter of the pharaoh’s son
Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise
And when you’re empty there’s so much space for them
You turn it off, oh, then a still small voice
Comes in blazing from some vast horizon
[Verse 3]
And I was thinking ’bout my river days
I was thinking ’bout me and Jim
Passing Cairo on a getaway
With every steamboat like a hymn
[Chorus]
Radio waves are coming miles and miles
Bringing only empty boats
Whatever feeling they had when they sailed
Somehow slipped out between the notes
[Chorus]
Out on the desert now and feeling lost
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Sighin' just a little bit
Sighin' just a little bit
[Verse 2]
And I was thinking ’bout what Katy done
Thinking ’bout what Katy did
The fairest daughter of the pharaoh’s son
Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise
And when you’re empty there’s so much space for them
You turn it off, oh, then a still small voice
Comes in blazing from some vast horizon
[Verse 3]
And I was thinking ’bout my river days
I was thinking ’bout me and Jim
Passing Cairo on a getaway
With every steamboat like a hymn
[Chorus]
