Holy Dances Lyrics
In the night I called your
name - heart of mine
one letter at a time.
I'll be found in a
land of savages
Ah-h...
Maybe you
don't know what you've got,
spent yer money on
desert lots -
holy dances and acronyms
for her.
Bury your maps, they'll find
all you pots and pans
cross all your hands, one
finger at a time
you'll be found in a
land of savages ah-h...
Maybe you don't know what
you've got,
husk to hide and I know you're
not, spending money
on a desert rose -
holy dances and acronyms
for bones.

Her voice is so ghostly, so full of longing, in this song, especially the opening lines. It gives my heart a case of the haunted butterflies, if you know what I mean.
we do. \ great song
we do. \ great song
I could be wrong, but I feel like this song partially maps onto the film Paris, Texas. The protagonist, Travis, spends his money on a desert lot. He doesn't remember why he bought it, but he carries a polaroid of it and is trying to find it as the film opens, wandering mutely through the desert. He associates it with his past life and ex-wife, both of which he is obliquely trying to return to via bleak stretches of land, to a parcel of land that is itself vacant.
"spent yer money on" I think that would be "spent your money on" =]
