[Verse 1]
We slowed down
Stopped outside Prada Marfa
An abandoned petrol station
Or an art world sphinx or oracle
Glass, and beyond, shoes and bags
Like a weapon deposit slowly
Reflects your shape as a tiny hole
Against the desert-scape
Black like a planet calling
[Chorus]
Jupiter call her
Into the ether
Jupiter call her
Let her come, let her come
[Verse 2]
I should relate somehow
I am an "abandoned project"
But also a creature
Crisp and clеar like the desеrt
Indistinguishable from clarity
Heavenly and high
The clouds' appendage
I could open my mouth
And pour out mirages
Like a song, I am always gathering
[Chorus]
Jupiter call her
Jupiter call her
Jupiter call her
Jupiter call her (Calling)
[Verse 3]
You ask, "Is it a real ship?"
But you meant shop
Could you ask if I am a real merle?
I mean burl
No, you don't gather
I watch my reflection sigh
Before goat and ram, I mean shoes and bags
Sometimes art is more real, more evil
Just lonelier
Just so lonely
[Chorus]
Jupiter call her (Just so lonely)
Jupiter call her (Just so lonely)
Jupiter call her (Just so lonely)
Jupiter call her
Jupiter call her (Just so lonely)
Jupiter call her
Jupiter call her
[Outro]

Strangely out of reach
And, I remember I had this wallet

When I wrote the music for this song in 2015, it had no lyrics, and I did not understand where it came from. It was a strange creature that moved from one genre to the next like a slide show and crashed into a chorus full of cymbals.
Six years later “Jupiter” has become a post-apocalyptic road trip....
In Zia [Anger]’s music video, that journey has become a psychedelic hot-air balloon ride. The video crew is filmed stepping into the balloon, knowing it is dangerous. That’s how the precarious workforce, including artists and other freelancers, work: high risk, little security. We all just mean so l...
