LYRICS
You can always see the ceiling
With the city looking in your bedroom window
And looked upon as such
I memorized the plaster until 3:00
‘Cause memorizing mud
Beats memorizing someone else’s heartache
So if you’ve been out to the grassland
You’ll know just what my city eyes have seen
My head is splitting
My heart is gasping
And now you’re asking:
“I know you’re leaving,
Can’t stop you dreaming
But why Nebraska?”
Well you’d think that I was dying
But new wounds seem to bleed the truest ink
And I’ll tell you, after thirteen years of trying:
It won’t come out the way you think
Atlantic drenched in irony and sunlight
I’m transported to those plains/planes
Where the trains stretch on forever
And no matter how far you run, it looks the same
My head is splitting
My heart is gasping
And now you’re asking:
“I know you’re leaving,
Can’t stop you dreaming
But why Nebraska?”
I’m working now all over Hell’s half acre
And window seats may have the better view
My midnight hour musings notwithstanding
I wish that I could just stay here and look at you
My head is splitting
My heart is gasping
And now I’m asking
“I know I’m leaving,
So why do I keep on dreaming
Of damned Nebraska?”
You can always see the ceiling
With the city looking in your bedroom window
That luminescent gaze
I hope it never looks away
So I can see you one more time before I go
In his sophomore album, Public Life, Joshua Lee Turner weighs his life as a touring musician against a newfound appreciation for time spent at home. Turner embraces imperfection and limitation, choosing to record the album almost entirely to 4-track cassette and producing, mixing, and filming it in his apartment. With stripped-down arrangements, intimate lyrics, and virtuosic guitar playing, Public Life blends 1970s sounds with 2020 contemplations of home, friendship, work, and social media.
