Vegas - Big Thief

Holed up in Vegas for only one week

And I caught you tongue and cheek by the side of the road

Of an automobile expo

Turned up the volume and you started to weep

And I thought you a lamb

Even in the sigh of the headlight sea

Your tears were salty ocean

You opened up the engine and listened to it sing

And I thought you a lamb

You knew your daddy 'til you were thirteen

And then he took his leave for the likes of the land

And the far off salty ocean

We shook our bodies and we started to scream

And I asked you again

Tell me when we grow up, do we ever go home?

You said home becomes the highway

We ordered movies on a motel screen

Until you needed me warm inside of your mouth

And my skin was salty ocean

And then you recommended I’m a woman to keep

And I called you a man
