That Sad and Holy Glow

Discover America is the second studio album by Van Dyke Parks released by Warner Bros. in 1972. Its sound is a major departure from his debut record, Song Cycle (1967), featuring all cover versions of previously written songs. The album mostly features songs popularized by early Calypso musicians, as well as songs by Allen Toussaint ("Occapella" and "Riverboat"), Little Feat ("Sailin' Shoes"), John Philip Sousa ("Stars and Stripes Forever") and one song of unknown origin ("Be Careful"). The title of the album is derived from the poem "I Am Waiting" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. more »

I saw it in the eyes of the checkout girl -
That sad and holy glow every blue-collar knows,
Like the lit windows on my childhood street
Where the deep, dark secrets of the family are kept.

Beneath the mire and stench of growing debt,
The deep, dark secrets of the family are kept.

Credit is a whore who won't wake up and leave,
But believe me I'm not sleeping with her anymore.
I don't want to be a slave, I just want to be free
And honestly I'm sick and tired of people chasing me.
