Jandek - Naked In The Afternoon lyrics

rate me

I got a vision, a teenage daughter

Who's growing up naked in the afternoon

I know a brother close to his mother

Who stays out late in the evening time

I keep repeating, it takes a beating

To grow up naked in the afternoon

You are a cowboy if you wear those boots

You are a cowboy when you wear those boots [3x]

Big time in the city [4x]

I got a letter

I read in the paper

It said a man was shot to death

It said a cow gave poison milk

Big time in the city when you wear those boots

I keep repeating, it takes a beating

To wear those boots in the afternoon

You call it a question

You call it a color

I got a letter

I think it's a vision

Big time in the city

I got a vision

I know a brother close to his mother

After the morning

You've had your rest

Well I got a letter

You are a cowboy

Big time in the city

Time to go naked in the afternoon

Take off your hat, take off your coat

Big time in the city

You've had your rest

I got a letter

You are a cowboy

Read in the paper

Big time in the city

It's time to go naked in the afternoon
