Gillian Welch - April The 14Th Part 1 Lyrics

Send "April The 14Th Part 1" ringtone to your cell

When the iceberg hit

Oh they must have known

God moves on the water

Like Casey Jones

So I walked downtown

On my telephone

And took a lazy turn

Through the redeye zone

Was a five-band bill

A two-dollar show

I saw the van out in front

From Idaho

And the girl passed out

In the backseat trash

There were no way they'd make

Even a half a tank of gas

They looked sick and stoned

And strangely dressed

No one showed

From the local press

But I watched them walk

Through bottom land

And I wished I played

In a rock 'n' roll band

Hey hey

It was the fourteenth day of April

Well they closed it down

With the sales in rags

And I swept up the fags

And the local rags

I threw the plastic cups

In the plastic bags

And the cooks cleaned the kitchen

With the staggers and the jags

Ruination day

And the sky was red

I went back to work

And back to bed

And the iceberg broke

And the Okies fled

And the great emancipator

Took a bullet in the back of the head
