Dusty Lyrics

Dusty in your eyes, dirty from chain
The lips of your kisses, are stickin' like tape
Woke you at sunrise, cold as a grave
I cut you some flowers, now don't be afraid...now don't be afraid

(chorus)
I'm a-lookin' for somethin'
To sink in my teeth without any cryin'
But I can't find no place or nothin'
Where thrills are cheap and love is divine

Home by the river, tall grassy fields
Under Willow, where for to kneel
Dusty, Oh, Dusty, this is your night
You'll be so pretty, all laced in white
All laced up in white

(chorus)
I'm a-lookin' for somethin'
To sink in my teeth without any cryin'
But I can't find no place or nothin'
Where thrills are cheap and love is divine (x2)

*guitar solo

(chorus)
I'm a-lookin' for somethin'
To sink in my teeth without any cryin'
But I can't find no place or nothin'
Where thrills are cheap and love is divine

Where thrills are cheap and love's divine (x5)

this reminds me of that pat benatar lyric (i thin it's pat benatar) "i need a lover that won't drive me crazy. someone to thrill me, and then go away." he wants passion without the risk of getting hurt.

haha, don't we all?

This song is overtly about doing cocaine. You're all fools.

for along time i thought this song was about some girl but the other night i was watchin F.B.I. files and it was about this serial killing rapist who called himself dusty.

I think Dusty is dead, his girlfriend...and i reckon he killed her because he loves her too much and there are other guys here and there and he's scared she'll leave him...so he kills her so she wont'e leave him...and now he's scared of relationships and wants a few stands...and doesnt know how to get them...and he cant be assed really...its probably all wrong but i think thats what its about.

This song made me cry he is such a beautiful singer and its so slow and sad...im no sentimental sucker either...

i love the line "home by the river, tall grass and fields,pond of willow oak well for to kneel" the imagery of that line is up there with pistol of fire and joes head. At the end when caleb sings "her thrills are cheap and love devine" it so beautiful.

but I can't no place or nothing, where thrills are cheap, and love is divine. I love how that line stays in your head long after the song ends.

It is pretty damn good, mind... Their lyrics are so inspired. And disturbing but touching. King of Leon are so amazing.

I think its about finding a girl to have sex with without any attachments. For example, a girl you meet backstage and hook up with; she wants to marry you while you assumed it was just a one night stand.

hmm this one can mean so many things but all in all it does sound like a verrrry beautiful story - melancholy yet beautiful...monas not the only sentimental sucker i still cry every time i hear it heehee :'(

Stay cool
