Luther's windows are littered with A crystal, a picture, a dead sage A dusty white curtain, the prints of a dog A glass collection from his truck driving days
Luther's is as hot as an oven With air that's as stale as old forgotten In a cage on the dresser a parrot that talks But her name and over is all that it says
Turn back to the sun You see only beneath the stars You see only
a homesick sailor Luther's in the window the world Floating by him
Luther's hands held a chain keys to a home and a blue Chevrolet Now he lives with his mother, steals all her And chain and stares at the ceiling for days
Turn your to the sun You see shadows Look beneath the You see night

Well, your back to the sun You see only beneath the stars You see only
a homesick sailor Luther's standin' in the Watching the by him tonight
It's floating by him It's floating by him floating by him tonight
