Astonished (In Memphis) Songtext
von Giant Sand

Out here on the sidewalk
At home in the rain
I count the staining gum spots
If you connect those dots, they spell your name

And I stand astonished
Do we remain?

Way out here, even the odd matters
′Round here in the rain
Still at home here in these splatters
Even the rain spits out your name


And I stand astonished
And I remain

You astonish me
You astonish me

Out here on the sidewalk
Out here in the rain
I count the staining blood drops from some poor unfortunate
But if you connect those dots
Even they spell your name

I stand astonished
I refrain
I stand astonished
We remain
