letra de cape blanco - the weather machine

[verse 1]
i hear them say “when it rains in the city
the coastal towns are somehow clear
and even when a storm comes to roost
it saves most the rain for the night”
i’ve been on both sides of that fight
the rat race and the hatchery run
a small-town lingering spite
the city’s currency of cynicism
i hear they say, almost under the table
what to do with america
as if it’s a secret, as if it’s a myth
or some treasure hunt that we’re all along
and i don’t hear them say, but i often imagine
a swell coming up from inside
the heave and the hum of the oceans
the restless and reasonless tide
[pre-chorus]
so i’m growing my hair
growing my face
just to sing a little more while
and she’s growing hers, too
and thickening her waist
on the goods that the gods have entitled

[chorus]
i’m just a day and a half from the other side
of this ocean storm
and i’m a fire, a dance, and a laugh
from keeping this here love warm
from keeping this here love warm

[verse 2]
so i’m giving my thanks to cape blanco
all your animals come out at night
there, i swear, i hallucinated a wolf dog
at a transitional time in my life
said “you can go on livin’ like a racehorse
or just move away to the south coast
you might find a way not to hurt anyone
get out of the way my feeling less alone”
so we hitched up the old winnebago
and got lost somewhere south of coos bay
wandered the siskiyou forest
the distant tents did quietly go away
i decided my visions had been lying
the old spirits had led us astray
so we went ahead and settled on the south coast
as good as any place if you’re gonna wait
[pre-chorus]
and i’m growing my hair
growing my face
just to sing a little more while
and she’s growing hers, too
and thickening her waist
on the goods that the gods have entitled

[chorus]
i’m just a day and a half from the other side
of this ocean storm
and i’m a fire, a dance, and a laugh
from keeping this here love warm
from keeping this here love warm

[verse 3]
i hear them say “when it rains in the city
the coastal towns are somehow clear
and even when a storm comes to roost
it saves most the rain for the night”
and i hear they say, almost under the table
“i’m movin’ down to the south coast.”
“i’m movin’ down to the south coast.”
“i’m movin’ down…”
