[Verse 1] Today in El Paso All the planes are asleep on the runway The world is in a delay The world is in a delay [Verse 2] All of the political consultants Drinking whiskey keep their heads down Lifting them only to look At the beautiful, scarred waitress Who wears typewriter keys As a necklace They jingle as she brings them drinks They jingle as she brings them drinks [Verse 3] Outside the giant plate gla** windows The planes are completely covered in snow It piles up on the wings It piles up on the wings [Verse 4] I feel like a mountain Of cell phone chargers It's all the various fates Of our various fathers Keeps us only partly protected I don't wanna talk on the phone To an angel I don't want I don't want I don't wanna talk on the phone To an angel I don't want I don't want [Verse 5] At night, before I go to sleep I am already dreaming Of coffee, Of ancient generals
Of the faces of statues Each of which has the eternal expression Of one of my feelings I examine my feelings Without feeling anything Now that might be why I come To the edge of the desert [Verse 6] I am president Of this gla** of water [Verse7] I don't wanna talk on the phone to an angel I don't want I don't want I don't wanna talk on the phone to an angel I don't want I don't want I don't wanna talk on the phone to an angel I don't want I don't want I don't wanna talk on the phone to an angel I don't want I don't want I don't wanna talk on the phone I don't want I don't want I don't wanna talk on the phone I don't want I don't want I don't wanna talk on the phone I don't want I don't want I don't want I don't want I don't want I don't want I don't I don't I don't I don't want I don't I don't I don't want I don't I don't I don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't
