True Dreams of Wichita

Signal got lost to the satellite
Got lost in the rideup to the plungedown

Man sends the ray of the electric light
Sends the impulse through the air
Down to home

And you can stand on the arms of the Williamsburg Bridge crying
Hey man, well this is Babylon
And you can fire out on a bus to the outside world
Down to Louisiana, you can take her with you

I've seen the rains of the real world come forward on the plain
I've seen the Kansas of your sweet little myth
You've never seen it, no, I'm half sick on the drinks you mixed
Through your

Brooklyn like a sea in the asphalt stalks
Push out dead air from a parking garage
Where you stand with the keys and your cool head of silence
While you grip her love like a driver's license

I've seen you fire up the gas in the engine valves
I've seen your hand turn saintly on the radio dial
I've seen the airwaves pull your eyes towards heaven
Outside Topeka in the phone lines
Her good teeth smile was winding down

Engine sputters ghosts out of gasoline fumes

I got a thing
I got a little bit pushed
Got to stand on the corner and bellow for mush
I got a bomb
I got a baby bomb-bomb
Got to stand on the corner and bellow for my friend Tom
I got a thing, I got to thing it
I got to thing, team
I got to run my side
