We're All Stuck Out in the Desert Lyrics
well I took a camera on vacation
to fit miami in a frame
she didn't mind, she blew me kisses
said, "well what's your name?"
i plan my dinner at the hotel
but then my dinner plans got wrecked
an investment banker started something
so i broke his neck
we're all stuck out in the desert
and we're gonna die
wipe that sand and salt
from your blistering eyes
well the polygraph needles were jumpin
and my conscience edward fell asleep
i can't trust myself to tell the secrets
i was told to keep
the fastest jackalope in texas
he started runnin outta luck
bit by a snake
then he got hit by jimmy's semi-truck
we're all stuck out in the desert
and we're gonna die
wipe that sand and salt
from your blistering eyes
well i know sometimes i get distracted
america's so big and wide
with her long white fingers she says
"hush, i'm not the marrying kind"
my mind moves faster when i'm walkin
my baby shoes are dipped in bronze
i don't give a shit, she calls the shots
that's how we get along
we're all stuck out in the desert
and we're gonna die
wipe that sand and salt
from your blistering eyes
to fit miami in a frame
she didn't mind, she blew me kisses
said, "well what's your name?"
but then my dinner plans got wrecked
an investment banker started something
so i broke his neck
and we're gonna die
wipe that sand and salt
from your blistering eyes
and my conscience edward fell asleep
i can't trust myself to tell the secrets
i was told to keep
he started runnin outta luck
bit by a snake
then he got hit by jimmy's semi-truck
and we're gonna die
wipe that sand and salt
from your blistering eyes
america's so big and wide
with her long white fingers she says
"hush, i'm not the marrying kind"
my baby shoes are dipped in bronze
i don't give a shit, she calls the shots
that's how we get along
and we're gonna die
wipe that sand and salt
from your blistering eyes

the refarin to this song is disappointing.. but the verses are genius and i love the sound.
he looks so much like conor oberst in this video!
my favourite part is the fact that jenny lewis is in it. I really like this song and the fact that the entire rilo kiley group is in the video, oh and winona ryder? haha i feel like he's a really funny down to earth guy.
matt costa is in the video too
I met him this weekend at the belmont arts and music festival, and he said this song was about being stuck in traffic
and he's funny..spaced out of it all the time, sort of seems like he is somewhere else.(drugs, most likely) but very nice
