Lyrics
In leather weather Leather trees are gone Does the oriole remember? The moss and vulture Imagine that To run for cheese Angels over Bethlehem Suspended in the sky are wearing halos
I go to the Delman on Sunday The aisles are leading me to the screen Balcony behind my back Exits outside my eyes Sometimes I catch the matinée And I see the feature twice by staying in there

Back in the day in Houston, there used to be a theater on the corner of Main Street and Richmond Avenue that was called the Delman. I lived around the corner from that theater, and I used to go there every Saturday to the movies.
