The Handsome Family Follow

A smashed windshield, the dust on a pickup truck
Shine with silver secrets in the Albuquerque sun
The light makes jewels of pawn shops and drive through banks
Wrinkled faces staring out the windows of the Laundromat

And even the broken glass scattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings

Neon signs above the old motels
Warehouse stores and strip malls, houses sprawled across the hills
The sunset's a bird with wings made out of fire
Parking lots turn to gold as it glides across the sky

And every night from 6:00 to 6:05
The desert dirt shimmers like a sea of watermelon light

Even the broken glass shattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings
