Shine with silver secrets in the Albuquerque sun
The light makes jewels of pawn shops and drive-thru banks
Wrinkled faces staring out the windows of the laundromat
And even the broken glass scattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings
Neon signs above the old motels, warehouse stores and strip malls,
Houses sprawled across the hills
The sunset's a bird with wings made out of fire
Parking lots turn to gold as it glides across the sky
And every night from 6: 00 to 6: 05
The desert dirt shimmers like a sea of watermelon light
Even the broken glass shattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings
A smashed windshield, the dust on a pickup truck Shine with silver secrets in the Albuquerque sun The light makes jewels of pawn shops and drive-thru banks Wrinkled faces staring out the windows of the laundromat And even the broken glass scattered in the street Shines like a thousand diamond rings Neon signs above the old motels, warehouse stores and strip malls, Houses sprawled across the hills The sunset's a bird with wings made out of fire Parking lots turn to gold as it glides across the sky And every night from 6: 00 to 6: 05 The desert dirt shimmers like a sea of watermelon light Even the broken glass shattered in the street Shines like a thousand diamond rings Explain Request ×
