about

a reading of "Oh, Pioneers" by Willa Cather.

lyrics

you slipped me lsd
i don’t remember waking up
but i remember going to sleep
you read me oh, pioneers!
i fell into a prarie
and i cried dusty tears
oh, willa! the clouds are coming down
they’re turning into coyotes and they’re running me out of town

but i worked my fingers to the bone
i tidied up his tiny home
i read love letters by the light of the full moon
and i won’t be home too soon

i’ve gone to old town mexico
i came back with party hats
and i can put on such a show
i’ll leave you if you won’t leave me
i’ll turn and walk away and i’ll remember everything
i’ve got to do what i must do
but trust me baby
i will always care for you

put a bullet in my head
you won’t be sorry when i’m dead
was it something that i said,
i won’t be sorry when i’m dead
there is a place that we call home
we won’t be sorry when we’re gone
