Luther's are littered with nothin' A crystal, a picture, a dead sage A dusty white curtain, the prints of a dog A shot glass collection from his driving days
bedroom is as hot as an oven With air as stale as old forgotten bread In a cage on the dresser there's a parrot that But her name over and over is all it says
Turn your to the sun You see shadows Look beneath the You see night
a homesick sailor Luther's standin' in the Watching the Floating by him
Luther's hands once held a With keys to a home and a blue Now he lives with his mother, steals all her And chain smokes and at the ceiling for days
Turn back to the sun You see shadows beneath the stars You see night
Like a sailor Luther's in the window the world Floating by him
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, He is watching the Floating by him
Luther's sitting by on the sofa With his head down but his eyes are open wide Having a one man revival an electronic Bible to the parade going by
And the bass is poundin', the trumpets are bleatin' And he's reading a verse St. John A of light seeps through the blind Luther pulls down the shade he makes up his mind
Well, turn your to the sun You see shadows beneath the stars You see night
Like a sailor Luther's in the window Watching the Floating by him
It's by him tonight floating by him tonight It's by him tonight
