Nope! It wasnt an April Fools Joke last night in LaLa Land....... Neil Young graced his audience with a rare playing of Thrasher once again! They were hiding behind hay bales, They were planting in the full moon They had given all they had for something new But the light of day was on them, They could see the thrashers coming And the water shone like diamonds in the dew. And I was just getting up, hit the road before its light Trying to catch an hour on the sun When I saw those thrashers rolling by, Looking more than two lanes wide I was feelin like my day had just begun. Where the eagle glides ascending Theres an ancient river bending Down the timeless gorge of changes Where sleeplessness awaits I searched out my companions, Who were lost in crystal canyons When the aimless blade of science Slashed the pearly gates. It was then I knew Id had enough, Burned my credit card for fuel Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand With a one-way ticket to the land of truth And my suitcase in my hand How I lost my friends I still dont understand. They had the best selection, They were poisoned with protection There was nothing that they needed, Nothing left to find They were lost in rock formations Or became park bench mutations On the sidewalks and in the stations They were waiting, waiting. So I got bored and left them there, They were just dead weight to me Better down the road without that load Brings back the time when I was eight or nine I was watchin my mamas T.V., It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode. Where the vulture glides descending On an asphalt highway bending Through libraries and museums, galaxies and stars Down the windy halls of friendship To the rose clipped by the bullwhip The motel of lost companions Waits with heated pool and bar. But me Im not stopping there, Got my own row left to hoe Just another line in the field of time When the thrashers comes, Ill be stuck in the sun Like the dinosaurs in shrines But Ill know the time has come To give whats mine.
