lyrics

arizona
don't you ever let me down
i've been hearing through the grapevine
you're the driest place around

oh, tell me arizona
where do we go from here
when all the temples have fallen
all that's left is the taste of fear

walking that line
taking up the time
and i don't know

what to do with myself
porcelain gods, shag carpet, polyester

rock garden outside
irrigate the lawn, the past is gone

it's so damn hot
does it ever cool down here

in arizona
did we ever have enough
was there any consolation
when the game got too rough

arizona
i can feel the sting
scorpion venom, fragility to which life clings

holding down a job
for 25 years just to end up here
staring at my shoes
the martini glass empties
and fills my blues
with an assortment of pills
one lets you wake
and one lets you sleep

and its so damn cold
does it ever warm up here

in arizona

taking up space
this old model needs to be replaced
i'll soon be gone
with all of my old friends
on pathways of light
i can feel the sting
there's a sweetness in this victory
sadness in this defeat
holding down a job
25 years, shag carpet, polyester
staring at my shoes
one lets you wake
one lets you sleep
scorpion venom
the martini glass empties
and fills my blues

it's so damn hot
does it ever cool down here

Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more
