Rooster Mountain
Rooster Mountain Revelations: Tales of Love, Loss, and Locomotion
Lyrics
I'd like to call big mama
I want to contact a significant woman.
Trade a pistol for some grain today
Willing to exchange a gun for some grain today.
Up on Rooster Mountain
Referring to Rooster Mountain.
Were all sopping wet with rain in vain
Everyone on Rooster Mountain is soaked with rain, and it seems futile.
I'd like to call a good friend
Expressing a desire to talk to a close friend.
There's just nothing she could say
The friend can't offer any meaningful advice or comfort.
When the town was in high fashion
Recalling a time when the town was prosperous.
We used to make it every day anyway
Despite challenges, they used to succeed every day.
And the hospital's a mansion on the hill
The hospital is portrayed as a luxurious mansion on a hill.
By secure means she's in high fashion still
Despite being secure, the person is still considered fashionable.
Knew a girl she was a demon
Describing a girl as mysterious or unpredictable.
Some things you can't explain
Some aspects of life are inexplicable.
She was flying loco-motion
The girl was moving in a wild and unpredictable manner.
Such joy it comes from pain
Emphasizing the idea that joy sometimes arises from pain.
San Diego there's an airport
Referring to an airport in San Diego with a wet runway.
Who's strip was wet with rain
Describing a wet runway at the airport.
Picture, I took a picture
Took a photograph and placed it in a frame.
And I put it in a frame
Preserving a moment in time.
Now the hospital's a mansion on the hill
Reiterating that the hospital is like a luxurious mansion on a hill.
By secure means she's in high fashion still
Despite security measures, the person is still considered fashionable.
I'd like to call big mama
Expressing a desire to contact a significant woman again.
Trade a pistol for some grain today
Willing to trade a pistol for some grain on the same day.
Up on Rooster Mountain
Referring again to Rooster Mountain.
We're all sopping wet with rain in vain
Everyone on Rooster Mountain is soaked with rain without purpose.
I'd like to call a good friend
Expressing a desire to talk to a close friend once more.
There's just nothing she could say
The friend still can't offer any meaningful advice or comfort.
When the town was in high fashion
Recalling a time when the town was in its prime.
We used to make it every day anyway
Despite challenges, they used to succeed every day.
And the hospital's a mansion on the hill
Reiterating that the hospital is like a luxurious mansion on a hill.
By secure means she's in high fashion still
Despite security measures, the person is still considered fashionable.
