bright future, bright pink
bright light in my eyes, oh this desert's a tease
giant heart, down in this dust,
fell to the earth at a fascinating speed
well further up, in the ponderosa
the nervous coyotes cadderwallin'
their choruses foreboding
and couldn't you've stayed on the ground
couldn't you have stayed on your feet

but your mind was wound so tightly
always bold and wise and unsettling
i leave in your tall trees, amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future

the night is patient
the night's a glass dome
the night is still and cold but this desert can turn
your restless mind was born in a flash,
and you lived in these clouds with lightning in your feet

and yes your mind was wound so tightly
always bold and wise and unsettling
i live in your tall trees, amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future
