lyrics

Do you remember Pescadero?
Sunflower men outside the county store
they spit their seed out. They spit it so far
And in the boneyard of St. Anthony, behind the town
you wished for one of them sunflower men to lay you dow
and he laid you down

Now all your dates are at the deli
He plugs your belly with his country fare
but it won't fill you up; you've got to go somewhere
And you've been thinking about the city, with its million eyes
You'd think a million more might do you well
well, you'd be surprised

I could sleep soft in your kitchen
like the kettle whistling far too long
like the hat hung on your door knob
or the radio that's never on

So I'll be driving up to Albion
a thousand faces in a plunging bay
someone must love them all - someone must know their names
And they will sleep soft in their kitchens and their parlors
they will sleep soft in their river soil, and
go back home
