el dorado

Imperial Mammoth

We drive all morning
We caravan
Out past the last homes
The golden land
We place our pallets
Where satellites fall
And build a fire
Across the desert sky

I just want to celebrate tonight
I just want to celebrate tonight

We paint our faces
With silver dust
Shoot roman candles
Up at the stars
We pass a bottle
And somebody hums
Like every movie
Before the killer comes

I just want to celebrate tonight
I just want to celebrate tonightevery thought
Like layers in the rock
Makes their own distinctive line
I don't have that kind of time

I just want to celebrate tonight
I just want to lose myself tonight
I just want to stir my bones tonight
I just want to celebrate tonight

And in the morning
The red-tail hawk flies
We find our highway
With smokey eyes
