"Cardboard Cowboy" (Phil Lesh) – Songtext
von Grateful Dead

When the cardboard cowboy dreams and his Cornucopia
Opens up the sky and blows my mind to the corners high
Pouring hope and rich and glowing beneath my terracotta
Leaving me transfixed and raving in the wake of a hammers blow


On my way out of town I stumble on the shards of a hungry screen
And cuddle up into the fat of circle where the power in crystal scenes
Then it′s to rise by all in all dangers on the days of a racist mind
And the paranoid re-entry blanket man dreaming on a slingshot ride

As my password world unravels I grab a wisp to hide
From the luthier lamp for bliss with his magic lips so wide
Finding out the price we pay from dawn to at four
Watching as the data show flavor in the heat of reality's love
But I′m into doom from the wild through hell to olden nether sun
Dance the war into the spell of a future in slow pistol run
