Bright Future Lyrics
bright future
bright pink
bright light in my eyes
all these desert cities
giant heart
down in this dust
fell to the earth
at a fascinating speed
further up
in the ponderosa
the nervous coyotes caterwaulin'
their choruses foreboding
couldn't you've stayed on the ground
couldn't you've stayed on your feet
but your mind was wound so tightly
always bold and wise and unsettling
i live in your tall trees amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future
the night is patient
the night's a glass dome
the night is still and cold
but this desert can turn
your restless mind
was born in a flash
and you lived in these clouds
with light day in your feet
yes your mind was wound so tightly
always bold and wise and unsettling
i live in your tall trees amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future
bright pink
bright light in my eyes
all these desert cities
down in this dust
fell to the earth
at a fascinating speed
in the ponderosa
the nervous coyotes caterwaulin'
their choruses foreboding
couldn't you've stayed on your feet
always bold and wise and unsettling
i live in your tall trees amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future
the night's a glass dome
the night is still and cold
but this desert can turn
was born in a flash
and you lived in these clouds
with light day in your feet
always bold and wise and unsettling
i live in your tall trees amongst your fearless leaves
saw the bright colors, bright future

Think at the beginning he sings:
Oh this desssert's a tease
One of the best songs of the new album! Think it's about his dad or a person very close to him who he looked up to. This person had huge expectations for life but became very disappointed when his big expectations didn't seem to match with the truth.

I mean, he specified who that friend is. there was even a photograph if I do recall.

"the nervous cayuse cat awailin"
pretty sure this should be "the nervous coyote caterwauling" he just says "coyote" like "ki-ote"
either way, this song is gorgeous. i am in love with this band.
