Oh Townes Van Zandt haunts your headphones the streetlights sway   You left your pregnant girlfriend in a train station in Spain.   Parades burst from your brain, plaid haired girls call your name   Fireflies weave resorts, built of light on perfect shores,   Knife thrust, lust, angel dust, purple sky’s before dusk   In the back of a pick up truck, racing from your shitty luck,      Black water in a crystal skull   Drink deep and hallucinate an ancient ocean   Black water pouring out your mouth   Time travel to worlds composed of ice fields and sound      Oh Townes Van Zandt haunts your headphones the street lights groan   That piece of shit left you at a train station all alone,,   You steal somebody’s purse, ravens rip through your skirt,   Babies in TV screens chase you out into the street,   Madrid’s finest hotel, whisky and painkillers.    If stolen master cards could pay off all this shitty luck      Black water in a crystal skull   Drink deep and hallucinate an ancient ocean   Black water pouring out your mouth   Time travel to worlds composed of ice fields and sound   When all your friends would call her they’d say it’s for the best   You can’t force a man to love you. He’d be a shitty dad.      They started the trip in the city of Cannes    They drank in streets under Cubist mansions    And when she told him that she was knocked up you should have seen his face   And when she told him that she was knocked up you should have seen his face      Black water in a crystal skull   Black water filling up your lungs   Black water in the south of France   Black water changing all your plans yeah
