about

The last song recorded with the great bassist Dayna Loeffler. We knew these two last EPs were the end of Transient Songs. Good way to end.

lyrics

Cracking your glass eyes and holding your tongue
are you satisfied with what you've become?
Ya gotta learn to swerve to save your face

Remember drowning and floating face down?
something sinister on a bus, on a bridge, headed downtown

And those magic moments just pass you by
The Lights of Marfa have burned up your eyes

You wanna be honest, ya wanna be alone?
Write your own obituary and carve your own headstone
You gotta learn to dig to make a grave....

Remember sowing those wild oats?
some pills and altitude and then your water broke

And those magic moments...just pass you by
The Lights of Marfa have passed you by

And there's nothing left for you to see
