High Llamas (The)
The Sun Beats Down
The fading charm, the broken calmThe drill bell carries onThe failing links, the power sinksThe moment passed, it's goneThere's nothing more to cartoon kicksThat can't be settled hereThere are no shady backroom tricksIt's simple, stale, and clearDisappointment lies in storeAs disappointments goIt's pestering, it's on the floorFor how long, heaven knowsThe sun beats downFrom ranch to townThe sun beats downOn the mountain's sunny sideThe sun shades are all downThe cattle drive was televisedIt tore from ranch to townWe don't elect a mayor round hereAnd nobody would runThe ceremonial chain would simplyMelt down in the sunThe sun beats down
