Someone's got it in for me, they're planting
stories in the press Whoever it is I wish they'd
cut it out quick but when they will I can only
guess They say I shot a man named Gray and took
his wife to Italy She inherited a million bucks
and when she died it came to me I can't help it if
I'm lucky.
People see me all the time and they just can't
remember how to act Their minds are filled with
big ideas, images and distorted facts Even you
yesterday you had to ask me where it was at I
couldn't believe after all these years you didn't
know even me better than that Sweet lady.
Idiot wind blowing every time your move your mouth
Blowing down the backroads heading south Idiot
wind blowing every time you move your teeth You're
an idiot babe It's a wonder that you still know
how to breathe
I ran into the fortune-teller who said beware of
lightning that might strike I haven't known peace
and quit for so long I can't remember what it's
like There's a lone soldier on the cross smoke
pouring out of a boxcar door You didn't know it
you didn't think it could be done in the final end
he won the wars After losing every battle.
I woke up on the roadside daydreaming about the
way things sometimes are Visions of your chestnut
mare shoot through my head and are making me see
stars You hurt the ones that I love best and cover
up the truth with lies One day you'll be in the
ditch, flies buzzing around your eyes Blood on
your saddle.

Idiot wind blowing through the flowers on your
tomb Blowing through the curtains in your room
Idiot wind blowing every time you move your teeth
You're an idiot babe It's a wonder that you still
know how to breathe.
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny
which broke us apart You tamed the lion in my cage
but it just wasn't enough to change my heart Now
everything's a little upside down, as a matter of
fact the wheels have stopped What's good is bad
what's bad is good you'll find out when you reach
the top You're on the bottom.I noticed at the
ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you
blind I can't remember your face anymore, your
mouth has changed your eyes don't look into mine
The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat
stone faced while the building burned I waited for
you on the running boards, near the cypress trees
while the springtime turned Slowly into autumn.
Idiot wind blowing like a circle around my skull
From the Grand Coulee Dam to Capitol Idiot wind
blowing every time you move you teeth You're an
idiot babe. It's a wonder that you still know how
to breathe.
I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the
books you've read Every time I crawl past your
door, I been wishing I was somebody else instead
Down the highway down the tracks down the road to
ecstasy I followed you beneath the stars hounded
by your memory And all you raging glory.
I been double-crossed now for the very last time
and now I'm finally free I kissed goodbye the
howling beast on the borderline which separated
you from me You'll never know the hurt I suffered
not the pain I raise above And I'll never know the
same about you your holiness or your kind of love
And it makes me feel so sorry.
Idiot wind blowing through the buttons of our
coats Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind blowing through the dust upon our
shelves We're idiots babe It's a wonder we can
even feed ourselves. |
