corn palace 04:07
Plastic bags are catching air they’re dancing Reaching wings white as wedding gowns Haven’t known for years where you are, I’m not asking The revival must be over. The tents are coming down. oil derricks old men bending Is it me or is it everything that’s ending I was a boy when they built the new corn palace There’s ’s nothing like it anywhere they’d tell us It ’ll bring folks in from everywhere, far away as Dallas Corn palace will save the town Bet you don’t get back to South Dakota You said there’s nothing here but indians and gin Don’t know how you’d find me I don’t look much like the photos Whatever man you’d come to look for I’m not him Hollas creek is up and running so much snow last winter Cows are chewing sideways you know why I think of you If you ask me the sun has gotten thinner I can stare straight up at it. Something you’re not supposed to do Nobody bales these days. They roll em It’s quick and easy but it wastes a lot of hay Why’d we waste so much money getting married at the Palace I Forget why it had to be Saint Catherine’s day Bet you don’t get back to south Dakota You said there’s nothing here but indians and gin I don’t know how you’d find me I don't look much like the photos Whoever you’d come to look for I’m not him Plastic bags like dancers at a wedding Its crazy the things folks throw away What if we’d got hitched at the courthouse instead Put the money down on the Hartman place angry for years after you left me Don’t know where all those years or All that that anger went Is it true what they say when you left you were pregnant That you had the kid and gave the kid away? Think of you when I see hay rolls. Of you and all that wasted hay Everybody got so wasted at our wedding at the Palace Hey why’d it have to be St. Catherine’s day

We busted the bunk bed We all do what Anne says Tore down some paper rolled up the rugs Brass dish stuck to it Spread out melted candle Some had spilled out on top of the Half grand piano I sat at the bench for while Then we strapped the lid shut Once the old ball gets rolling The old ball gets rolling That old rolling ball doesn't stop You end up getting fooled by the simplest equations If you’re smart You start making stuff up dig enough holes Put up enough houses A mountains no longer a place Haul off what’s been holding Cut down something living You gotta live you gotta live with mistakes Tiny white flowers Endowed with power power to judge power to save see something like that Growing up out of a crack Power in the ugliest place ma knew to look when she needed to look She Saw what she needed to see My old man never new when to sit down Or shut up Theres more pa than my ma in me We all do what Anne says Busted the bunk bed rolled up the rugs Drug em out to the street Brass dish stuck to it Spread out melted candle Not one of us ever learned to play the piano How hard could it be to play the piano I sat down and looked Down at the keys
