Track Insight / Lyrics
He's got a dent in his left side door
A leaking joint on the valley floor
His yellow paint is a peeling mess
But he's dressed up in a desert dress
Ticking like a clock in the heat
Walking on a rhythm so sweet
Oh, Rusty Yellow Gold
Doing what he's told
Chattering a song to the sky
While the red dust clouds float by
He finds a bolt in the copper sand
The loneliest bot in a broken land
He tells a joke to a jagged stone
Happy to be humming alone
Ticking like a clock in the heat
Walking on a rhythm so sweet
Oh, Rusty Yellow Gold
Doing what he's told
Chattering a song to the sky
While the red dust clouds float by
He drinks the oil from a cracked old can
He's got a very detailed plan
To find the city where the wires glow
And put on a small electric show
His gears are grinding slow and deep
While the weary badlands fall asleep
One spark of light in a heavy haze
Counting down the long and lonely days
Oh, Rusty Yellow Gold
Doing what he's told
Chattering a song to the sky
While the red dust clouds float by
He waves a hand at a passing bird
The strangest sound that the canyon heard
A tinny laugh and a clicking beat
Marching on through the midday heat
Oh, Rusty Yellow Gold
Doing what he's told
Chattering a song to the sky
While the red dust clouds float by
Keep on rolling, little guy.
Yellow gold under a purple sky.
