The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks are an American alternative country and rock band that emerged from the Twin Cities music scene during the mid 1980s. Their country rock sound was influential on many bands who played the Twin Cities circuit during the 1980s and 1990s like Uncle Tupelo, The Gear Daddies and The Honeydogs. They have released several studio albums, including five on the American Recordings label. On hiatus from 2005 to 2009, the band has since reunited and released a new album, "Mockingbird Time," in September 2011. more »

Pouring slowly out of the owl bar 
Side the beverly hotel
Stumble over to the rendezvous 
We'll have another cocktail there

Nurse another cheap old-fashioned
The floor is streaked with dreams and beer 
Cursing that old sin ambition
There is certainly none of that in here 
Certainly none of that in here

The dust of long dead stars 
That is who we are
The dust of long dead stars 
That is who we are

Silly rings formed on the counter 
Lost among the boomerangs
The existential biker waitress wisdom 
Betty page without the bangs

Like two moths lost and tattered 
Only looking for the light
Went searching for enlightenment 
But ended up in here tonight 
Ended up in here tonight

The dust of long dead stars 
That is who we are
The dust of long dead stars 
That is who we are
