Des Moines Songtext
von The Drams

Over Council Bluffs the sky turned gray
As a van began to sway
With a crosswind so strong
And a phone call gone so wrong
There′s some static in the words you say
A terse reply and you seem to drop away
Misunderstanding, communicative theft
Not at all unlike the night before I left

Now there's a sadness in Des Moines
And I hope it blows out with the storm
There′s two sides to every coin
Still there's a sadness in Des Moines


Blew it last night in Nebraska
The crowd was dead and the night was slow
All liquored up in Lincoln
I was gone 'bout halfway through the show
Whoa, with a pounding in my head
Some do need to retrace every word you said
To revise and to re-relate
To reach out and shake you and set the record straight

Now there′s a sadness in Des Moines
And I hope it blows out with the storm
There′s two sides to every coin
Still there's a sadness in Des Moines

What a fool I was to entrust
Words so critical to say
To a wireless phone call
From eight hundred miles away

Now there′s a sadness in Des Moines
And I hope it blows out with the storm
There's two sides to every coin
Still there′s a sadness in Des Moines


Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

There's two sides to every coin
There′s two sides to every coin
There's two sides to every coin
Still there's a sadness in Des Moines
