The Handsome Family - King of Dust lyrics

Artist: The Handsome Family

album: Unseen


I dreamed that I was flying above the glittering world
But I woke up in the bar ditch, car ready to explode
Hanging upside down in the front seat of my truck
The scream of grinding metal, 40 cars piling up
Nothing rusts in the desert, the air is full of ghosts
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbitbrush full of bones
Oh, Coronado, king of dust
The desert never cared what you saw
When you stared into the sun
Ancient oceans have been lost beneath this shifting clay
Where conquistadors in silver hunted Cibola across the plains
But there are no golden cities
Only trailer parks and dust
And angels only fly here
When you drive into the sun
Nothing rusts in the desert, the air is full of ghosts
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbit brush full of bones
Oh, Coronado, king of dust
The desert never cared what you saw
When you stared into the sun
