Damien Jurado Purple Anteater Lyrics

Purple Anteater Lyrics

Purple anteater waits on the corner

Winging one night I'm slight

Open eyes just to see the people

That you don't play at all

See them fall



When you think it's easy

Just believe you're deceived



The anteater waits for the bus

He's waiting for his mom

Where's she gone?

So he sits on by the phone

Feeling tired and alone

When will she appear?

It's not clear



When you think it's easy

Just believe you're deceived



The anteater waits for the bus

He's waiting for his mom

Where's she gone?
