a thousand diamond rings
Singer:handsome family, the
the dust on a pickup truck
shine with silver secrets in the albuquerque sun
the light makes jewels of pawn shops and drive-thru banks
wrinkled faces staring out the windows of the laundromat
and even the broken glass scattered in the street
shines like a thousand diamond rings
neon above the old motels
warehouse stores and strip malls
houses sprawled across the hills
the sunset's a bird with wings made out of fire
parking lots turn to gold as it glides across the sky
and every night from 6:00 to 6:05
the desert dirt shimmers like a sea of watermelon light
even the broken glass shattered in the street
shines like a thousand diamond rings
