about

A post card from Phoenix, Arizona

lyrics

Mose Alison swingin' on the radio
Driving to the Valley Ho
Stickin your thighs to the red naugahyde
Ordering a hot cup of Joe
Imposible curves back at the Clarendon
Mosaic platinum and gold
Purple dessert hills in the dyin' light
Phoenix is rising here tonight

Mid-Century Modern girl, doin' the Fandango
Mid-Century Modern girl, stompin' on the hardwood floor

Water falling down the plexiglass walls
A paradise of sunshine and chrome
Starlight shining down the bottom of the pool
You can see it from the rooftop bar
We're gonna see Sedona tonight
Sagueros and pink bungalows
Don't take a picture of her Airstream trailer man
She thinks you're gonna foreclose her

Mid-Century Modern girl, doing the Fandango
Mid-Century Modern girl, stompin on the hardwood floor

Going to drive to the Canyon in the dawn's early light
And listen to our shouts echo
Maybe walk a path to the bottom one day
And watch my ticker explode
Fried cheese and hot sauce heaped on a plate
With microbrew Rattlesnake Beer "Get bit"
A reporter got killed here on this very day
It all happened right here in this place

Mid-Century Modern girl, doing the Fandango
Mid-Century Modern girl, stompin' on the hardwood floor

And the sun is strong, a drought's coming on
Where is the water.
And the sun is strong, a drought's coming on
Where is the water.
