april the 14th, part i - gillian welch lyrics
when the iceberg hit,
oh they must of known
god moves on the water
like casey jones.
so i walked downtown
on my telephone
and took a lazy turn
through the red-eye zone
it was a five band bill
a two dollar show
i saw the van out front
from idaho
and a girl p-ssed out
in the backseat trash
there was no way they’d make
even a half a tank of gas.
they looked sick and stoned
and strangely dressed
no one showed
from the local press
but i watched them walk
through the bottom land
and i wished i played
in a rock and roll band
hey, hey
it was the 14th day of april
well they closed it down
with the sails in rags
and they swept up the f-gs
and the local rags
threw the plastic cups
into plastic bags
and the cooks cleaned the kitchen
with the staggers and the jags.
ruination day
and the sky was red
i went back to work
and back to bed
and the iceberg broke
and the okies fled
and the great emanc-p-tor
took a bullet in the back of the head
