Vortexas

Vortexas - Howe Gelb

Welcome to the desert

Its becoming increasingly more expensive

It used to be much cheaper

To find a love and to keep her

To play guitar and reiterate

Or embrace the heat and just hibernate

A little tin foil on the window works just great

I'm coming from a long line of coincidence

I'm a vortexan at heart

I can't give one 'for instance'

But vortexas still has my heart

Staying at the congress hotel

About a mile from the "no-tel motel"

It's our universe's center

I used to live there like a renter

It assembles us with haywire

They lost the top floor up in flre

The clocks are stuck in rewind

Living on tucson time

Coming from a long line of coincidence

I'm a vortexan at heart

I can't give one 'for instance'

But vortexas still has my heart

Pinto beans kept us well stocked

To kill the time we just rocked

Catching a buzz from the cicadas

And dancing with invisible neighbors

Erosion is our state bird

Ha that's not what i heard

Coming from a long line of coincidence

I'm a vortexan at heart

I can't give one 'for instance'

But vortexas vortexas
