Thrasher
Lyricist:Neil Young
They were hiding behind hay bales They were planting in the full moon They had given all they had For something new
But the light of day was on them They could see the thrashers coming And the water shone Like diamonds in the dew
And I was just gettin' up Hit the road before it's light Tryin' to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw those thrashers rollin' by Lookin' more than two lanes wide I was feelin' like my day had just begun
Where the eagle glides descending There's an ancient river bending Through the timeless gorge of changes Where a sleeplessness awaits
I searched out my companions who were lost in crystal canyons When the aimless blade of science Slashed the pearly gates
It was then I knew I'd had enough Burned my credit card for fuel Headed out to where The pavement turns to sand
With a one way ticket to the land of truth And my suitcase in my hand How I lost my friends I still don't understand
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com They had the best selection They were poisoned with protection There was nothing that they needed Nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations Or became park bench mutations On the sidewalks and in the stations They were waiting, waiting
So I got bored and left them there They were just dead weight to me Better down the road without that load
Brings back the time When I was eight or nine I was watchin' my mamas TV It was that great 'Grand Canyon' rescue episode
Where the vulture glides descending On an asphalt highway bending Through libraries and museums Galaxies and stars
Down the windy halls of friendship To the rose clipped by the bull whip The motel of lost companions Waits with heated pool and bar
But me I'm not stopping there Got my own row left to hoe Just another line in the field of time
When the thrasher comes I'll be stuck in the sun Like the dinosaurs in shrines But I'll know the time has come to give what's mine
