The Felice Brothers - Valium lyrics

Verse 1 Well, I'm at a motel on the border of Utah and Colorado There's an old John Wayne movie on, or I think it's John Wayne A bride's being carried away on horseback into the darkening horizon The soft murmur of strings and the lowing of distant cattle is like Valium for the national conscious Chorus Valium, valium In this warmly beating heart In this warmly beating heart Verse 2 My happiness is touch-and-go Kinda like this motel's HBO I've been laying here flipping through the channels A presidential debate A split second later, a picture-perfect dinner emerges from an oven That rattle snake never stood a chance against the likes of Annie Oakley Chorus Annie Oakley Annie Oakley In this warmly beating heart In this warmly beating heart Verse 3 The night is too quiet to sleep And so I’m standing now in the dust of the road contemplating Heaven I must have been lost on some kind of excursion up through Colorado I think her name was Marilyn but I remember nothing else about her Except that her hair smelled of gunpowder That's it for tonight - signing off, signing off Chorus Marilyn, Marilyn In this warmly beating heart In this warmly beating heart Valium, valium In this warmly beating heart In this warmly beating heart
