Searchlight Songtext
von Giant Sand

Man, how you get all the way up to?
Ten up to Phoenix, catch on 93 over
68 up to Loughlin, straight on up the searchlight
And head left

One long year of weather and wonder
I′m wondering whether we'll get out from under
Big bad clouds and terminal thunder

Come to the new weather
Welcome to the new weather

20 miles west of searchlight
30 miners are getting real tight
The whole town′s done up like a night light
Underneath massive spangled starlight

20 miles west
West of searchlight
West
N-I-P-T-O-N
N-I-P-T-O-N


Tattooed barracuda pass the bun boy in Baker
In between San Bernardino and truck stop casino
Hail as big as golf balls
Ducking in to our hole in the wall

Come to the new weather
Welcome to the new weather

20 miles west of searchlight
2 miners were shooting up the night
We tried to get some sleep in the car that night
Woken up by massive starlight

20 miles, 20 miles
20 miles, 20 miles
West of searclight
West

N-I-P-T-O-N, N-I-P-T-O-N
N-I-P-T-O-N, N-I-P-T-O-N
N-I-P-T-O-N
N-I-P-T-O-N

Well
