King Of Dust - The Handsome Family

I dreamed that I was flying above the glittering world, but I woke up in the

bar ditch, car ready to explode

Hanging upside down in the front seat of my truck

The scream of grinding metal.

40 cars piling up

Nothing rusts in the desert.

The air is full of ghosts.

Cliffs painted with the

old gods, rabbit brush full

Of bones

Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared

What you saw when you stared into the sun

Ancient oceans have been lost beneath this shifting

Clay where conquistadors in silver hunted Cibola

Across the plains

But there are no golden cities only trailer parks and dust and angels only fly

here when you drive into the sun

Nothing rusts in the desert.

The air is full of ghosts.

Cliffs painted with the

old gods, rabbit brush full

Of bones

Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared

What you saw when you stared into the sun
