Josh Ritter Monster Ballads Lyrics

Monster Ballads Lyrics

Radio waves are coming miles and miles Bringing only empty boats Whatever
feeling they had when they sailed Somehow slipped out between the notes 



Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Sighing
just a little bit 



And I was thinking ?bout what Katy done Thinking ?bout what Katy did The
fairest daughter of the Pharaoh?s son Dressed in gold ?neath pyramids 



Out on the desert now and feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Sighing
just a little bit 



Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise And when you?re empty there?s so much space
for them You turn it off but then a still small voice Comes in blazing from some
vast horizon 



And I was thinking ?bout my river days I was thinking ?bout me and Jim Passing
Cairo on a getaway With every steamboat like a hymn 



Out on the desert now I?m feeling lost The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross Sighing just a little bit Smiling
just a little bit
