Far from Any Road
From the dusty mesa her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin,
my fingers ran with blood
In the hushing dusk
under a swollen silver moon
I came walking with the wind
to watch the cactus bloom
A strange hunger haunted me
the looming shadows danced
I fell down to the thorny brush
and felt a trembling hand
When the last light warms the rocks
and the rattlesnakes unfold
Mountain cats will come
to drag away your bones
And rise with me forever
across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes
and the wind will be my hands
And rise with me forever
across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes
and the wind will be my hands
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin,
my fingers ran with blood
In the hushing dusk
under a swollen silver moon
I came walking with the wind
to watch the cactus bloom
A strange hunger haunted me
the looming shadows danced
I fell down to the thorny brush
and felt a trembling hand
When the last light warms the rocks
and the rattlesnakes unfold
Mountain cats will come
to drag away your bones
And rise with me forever
across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes
and the wind will be my hands
And rise with me forever
across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes
and the wind will be my hands
