lyrics

Desert Hot Springs, ‘round early fall
Willie’s painting on an empty pool’s walls
Surreal murals of antique beasts

‘While my husband’s playin’ at shooting range
I must tend the bar today again, for a change
Serving beer to his two young maidens’

(Chorus)
‘I don’t care where he goes out at night
As long as I paint, moon’s my sunlight
I don’t care what he drinks or whom he fights
As long as I paint, there’s no fright’

Sadly, Willie’s waiting for his child
In their house nearby the closed fairground, in the wild
At noon she naps in murals pool

(Chorus)

Nine months that Willie has been waiting, now
Nine months she has trained at shooting range, anyhow
She’s got sharper black eyes than he does, now

Two-headed beasts, fish scale legs, she-wolf teats
Warrior look, open jaws, bright shiny hooks
Under waves pool water, their bodies shook
