Far from Any Road The Handsome Family

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
