Lyrics

[00:12] From the dusty mesa
[00:15] Her looming shadow grows
[00:20] Hidden in the branches
[00:41] My fingers ran with blood
[01:06] I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom
[01:55] Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones
[02:06] And rise with me forever
[02:09] Across the silent sand
[02:13] And the stars will be your eyes
[02:17] And the wind will be my hands
[00:23.5] Of the poison creosote
[00:29.5] She twines her spines up slowly
[00:33.5] Towards the boiling sun
[00:37.5] And when I touched her skin
[00:57.5] In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon
[01:15.5] A strange hunger haunted me,
[01:19.5] the looming shadows danced
[01:23.5] I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand
[01:47.5] When the last light warms the rocks
[01:51.5] And the rattlesnakes unfold
