Valium
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 is 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
Valium, Valium
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
My happiness is touch-and-go
Kinda like this motel's HBO
I've been sitting here flipping through the channels
A presidential debate
A split second later, a picture-perfect dinner emerges from an oven
That rattlesnake never stood a chance against the likes of Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
The night is too silent 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 don't remember nothing else about her
Except that her hair smells of gunpowder
That's it for tonight, signing off, signing off
Marilyn, Marilyn
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
Valium, Valium
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
There's an old John Wayne movie on, or I think it's John Wayne
A bride is 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
Valium, Valium
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
My happiness is touch-and-go
Kinda like this motel's HBO
I've been sitting here flipping through the channels
A presidential debate
A split second later, a picture-perfect dinner emerges from an oven
That rattlesnake never stood a chance against the likes of Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
The night is too silent 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 don't remember nothing else about her
Except that her hair smells of gunpowder
That's it for tonight, signing off, signing off
Marilyn, Marilyn
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
Valium, Valium
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
In this warmly beating heart
