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