Throwing Muses - Dizzy Lyrics

Along the Palo Duro canyon
Red River shows so many eyes
One eye squinting shading from the sun, shoot me

Black as oil, his hair shone
Lily white his skin glistened
Restless as the reed between his lips blew

It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

What day is this? I quietly asked the sky
What time is it? he asked me sitting up

Love that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head

What are you running from? I asked the white boy
From the guys who chased me there come run
I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I'll light you

It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
In my head

He said, you're only Indian in Oklahoma
You could be melting in America
White on red, melt with my skin
These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel
I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car
Light up my cigar, I'll light you

It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head

The last I saw of Oklahoma
A gas station fading in the dusk
Goodbye to my father, I thought, I'm carrying the light
The light of my Comanche
Make sure the dog remembers me
I dream the sand beneath your feet
I hold the light

It's just that mean old Texas sun
It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head
Love that villain on the run
He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head
And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
In my head
