Lyrics Katowice or Cologne - Mark Kozelek , Desertshore

Walking down West 33rd Street
To Macy's, passed Jack Demsey's
Passed the neon lights of Madison Square
I need a heavier coat to wear
Where are you off to, where are you going
Off to Germany and then to Poland
Mysłowice or Katowice
Oh, baby can I get a kiss
Another taste of your sweetness
Another night in your heavenliness
Another look at you wearing nothing
But that bracelet on your skinny wrist
I fell asleep and I had a dream
It was summer on the beach, St. Augustine
And the water was warm and blue
I was playing in a small room
I met a brunette in a pretty dress
Went to her AC'ed apartment
She smoked a joint and she drank absinth
And laid there like a slab of cement
And I left and we lost touch
And I can't say I really missed her much
And when I left we fell outta touch
And I doubt she ever thought of me much
I woke up and I didn't wanna go
Looked out the window at the blinding white snow
But I still got my taxi though
Said goodbye and shut off my phone
I waited for an hour at the terminal
Writing notes in my Moleskin journal
After all these years I still panic
When I cross the goddamn Atlantic
Squeezed into seat 33B
Sipping Starbucks gunpowder tea
Trying to remember some of my tunings
All of them C G C F G C
Oh, it's all I ever really need
To get from point A to point Z
To get from Ålesund to Leaning Tree
And in the worst shape I can always sing
Jet lagged as fuck in Beijing
After a sleepless all night fling
With the stomach flu in Ireland
With strep throat in Newfoundland
I just need a decent guitar tone
And a 58 microphone
A pretty girl in the front row
I don't need a drink, I don't need no blow
To get through a two hour show
In Katowice or Cologne
Oh, when I get home
Gonna sleep 'til the cows come home
And take a little trip you know
Not to Anchorage or Juneau
Maybe Wahaca, Mexico
Ah, fuck I really don't know
What I'm gonna do when I'm home
I might just stay in San Francisco
Take a week in El Pescadero
Dig up some abalone
Go fishing for some cabazone
Go fishing for some sand sharks
Go fishing 'til it gets dark
Go picking some artichokes
Then run a hot bath and soak
Then run a hot bath and soak
