Tumble and Tear Songtext
von Giant Sand

When Thunders comes to Tucson to record, he calls for Tom
One, two, three

You′re a beautiful sight
In your black dress and truck
Your hearts full of lust
You're all out of luck
A dead man′s curve knows no partiality

You fall out
Fall out, fall out
You tumble and tear
Tumble and tear
Nobody sees
You're worse for wear
You try to dream
But it's too dark in there
You call out
Call out, call out


It doesn′t matter
What the doctors will say
You′re all broke up
You won't care anyway
You won′t care
Anyone will do
You're all broke up

So I wake up
From a sleep so dead
I see you standing
Beside my bed
You touch my hand
And let go of my heart

Call out, call out
Call out, call out
Gone now
You′re all gone now
You're gone now
Your gone now

I′m all alone in the modern world
All by myself in the modern world
He had a mirror in the drive
Radio in the dark
Radio in the dark
5,000 miles an hour
With the radio on


Roadrunner, roadrunner
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Put the radio on
Put the radio on
Put the radio, radio

Law ride in
In a barrio
