Smoke it flies from whisky mouths / vagabonds walk this suitcase town
summer left us beckoning / the cottonwoods were all worn out
night comes fixing on the day / and the universe reigned again
while the wheels roll, to find a flickering light
While you were sleeping i was the turning the dials
and i walled up your kingdom with radio wires
and the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling
aw, you should-a heard them
Living here in this city on fire, well i?ve been fine
just dancing drunk above the street / me the ghost of caroline
and that was me, ya know, calling up above /
from the steeples in the church yard
watch the wheels roll to find another place home
While you were sleeping, you bet that i might
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide
and the kingdom it came, well it all fell down
it all fell to dust / and it all fell
While you were sleeping i was the turning the dials
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide
