about

Tuning: Open G. A western stomp about a caowboy-alien romance. Brad Albetta liked this song from the Val Holler Band EP, so it was rerecorded for this album. William Burroughs is heard speaking at the beginning, and there is a sample of Gram Parsons saying during a live show "Thank you, thank you very much" in the bridge section.

lyrics

"Ten Miles to Bliss"
©Tathata Music (ASCAP)

Well, allright. Gonna stop my ride in the middle of the road - lay down look up at the stars
Hell, allright. Seems there's plenty of space for the entire human race and a pickle or two on Mars.
Well, OK. You know there's nothing wrong and I wont be long looking up at the Milky Sweet and Sour
Hell, OK. She said I see it in your eye - there's a will to fly and a turtle-dove loving kind of power.

Feel its time… Lay down your guns and butter philosophy
Know its time… Ten miles to bliss, across the border of a kiss.

Well, allright. So she's showing me how to milk a sacred cow on a moony Sunday farm
Hell, allright. But I'm a little bit confused about these Martian blues and their innocence to harm.
Well, OK. Should I dare to do Rogers and Astaire with a legless alien girl
Hell, OK. Guess Ill stay for a while, learn the miracle mile, come back and give the Earth a twirl.

Feel its time… Lay down your guns and butter philosophy
Know its time… Ten miles to bliss, across the border of a kiss.

Well, allright. So I heard it was bad, some were filthy, some were had. Some were up to their knees in shit
Hell, allright. But with a little space magic, well heal the tragic - turn dust into silver sand.
Well, OK. Stirred up a little faith from the wren to the wraith to embrace a loverly skit
Hell, OK. So you see my little spry, there's a time for lullaby, and there's a time to strike up the band.

Feel its time… Lay down your guns and butter philosophy
Know its time… Ten miles to bliss, across the border of a kiss.
