Joshua Tree in the Headphones Songtext
von Deb Talan

I used to be a patriot
New England family portrait
Wood panel walls and shag carpet
Hot chocolate suicide

That was so many lifetimes ago
And I still remember your house
Mice in the traps
Wood on the stove
You and me stoned
Joshua Tree in the headphones
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Now I can′t see those bad movies
Not anything from the seventies
They bring me back to everything
I'd rather not recall


That was so many lifetimes ago
And I still remember your house
Mice in the traps
Wood on the stove
You and me stoned
Joshua Tree in the headphones
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I′m so far out
I'm so far out now
Too far to swim back to forgotten shores
'Forgot′ is a lie, I′m just too tired to swim
In those waters no more
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I told my sons the story of
Those shells we found, the treasure trove
You and me and the frogs we loved
High school princes, oh

That was so many lifetimes ago
And I still remember your house
Mice in the traps
Wood on the stove
You and me stoned
Joshua Tree in the headphones (da-da-da)
Oh-oh-oh (da-da-da)


Joshua Tree in the headphones (da-da-da)
Oh-oh-oh (da-da-da)
Joshua Tree in the headphones (da-da-da)
Oh-oh-oh (da-da-da)
Joshua Tree in the headphones (da-da-da)
Oh-oh-oh (da-da-da)
Joshua Tree in the headphones (da-da-da)
Oh-oh-oh (da-da-da)

(Da-da-da)
