Into Dust Lyrics

Can you hear those footsteps down the hall?

Is it a spirit come to call?

With a message from the dead meant to blow apart my head

Or is it just my pussycat wearing love beads and a hat?

I guess it's much to dark to tell if it's a cat or living hell I'll never know

While the highway whispers promises of better things to come

I'm searching through my dresser for another shot of rum

But sleep won't come to me tonight

I walk the floor until the dawn

And all at once the morning breaks and sleeplessness is gone

I'm left exhausted by the hall

I guess there's nothing there at all except a footstep in my mind

Another restless thought goes blindly into dust

Can you see those colors on the hill like a kaleidoscopic thrill?

With a message from on high setting fire to my eye

Or am I dizzy from the beer with my eyesight gone unclear?

I guess it's much too bright to see if it's God or only me I'll never know

While the softness of you hand in mine reminds me of a time

When the only key to happiness was one more glass of wine

But now I'm looking into years that age and time will soon fulfill

And wondering what lies beyond that multicolored hill

Is it a city made of gold or just a landscape growing old?

Are they just colors in mind?

Another restless thought goes blindly into dust

Is it a city made of gold or just a landscape growing old?

Are they just colors in mind?

Another restless thought goes blindly into dust
