you, you’re gonna miss me
once i’m gone
once i find my way around
your broke down charm
you, you’re gonna wish you’d
held on tighter
once i find myself in someone
else’s arms

like georgia o’keefe painting flowers in the backseat
under the new mexican sun
you can imagine me that way

here it’s dry but this desert is mine
i see blue skies through the hole
of a sun-bleached pelvic bone

you, you’re gonna miss me
once i’m gone
once i find my way around
your broke down charm
you, you’re gonna wish you’d
held on tighter
once i find myself in someone
else’s arms

like hundreds of lovers
with bricks in their pockets
headed straight for the ocean floor
i will not go down that way

but if some strange face lures me from the shore
i’ll be the lark that sings
around the bend
a rebel on the river in
the ship of charon

you, you’re gonna miss me
once i’m gone
once i find my way around
your broke down charm
you, you’re gonna wish you’d
held on tighter
once i find myself in someone
else’s arms

like georgia o’keefe painting flowers in the backseat
under the new mexican sun
you can imagine me that way

here it’s dry but this desert is mine
i see blue skies through the hole
of a sun-bleached pelvic bone
