"Song For Tura Satana" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

[Verse 1: John Darnielle]
Doll Squad's at the drive-in
It's 1973
And the fruit is full and fat this year on the orange trees
Which grow in clusters
The city's 60 miles away
As the sunset tries desperately
To break through the gray

[Chorus:]
And the stardust
Came down
Royal blue
As the San Bernardino sky
Showered over you

Coming home early
Is always a mistake
But when see that woman on the sofa
Something in you breaks
You got a celluloid tendency to flare out and blaze
And the report sounds once like a failed hymn of praise

[Chorus:]
And the stardust
Came down
Royal blue
As the San Bernardino sky
Showered over you
