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
