Starting All The Dogs Off

I'm a one light knight on a highway

And I move faster with every hour

I got hair on the back of my neck that stands and prances like a tiger

I see God in the arid sky right before the day breaks

I'm raised from bones and stiff lament

With a Steele frame

I follow snakes through iced mountains

I don't stop for no man woman or child

We ride mirages and wet horizons

And all the voices in the churches

They singing lullabies

We watch florid suns rise through sleepless eyes

And we run between the legs of captive stock

By a campfire

Run between the legs of captive stock

By a campfire

And I'm starting all the dogs off

You're a black flame standing in the wind on my highway

You got six legs and a punch that could kill a donkey

You got eyes blacker than the back door into heaven

And my boots scrape like the faces on pavement

Lean against the black velvet

And embrace the threats of death

Open the door to the garden

And let loved ones in

I dance with false dreams and with figures of light

And smile through gritted teeth

And I smile through gritted teeth

And I smile through gritted teeth, yeah

And I'm starting all the dogs off

I've come from night from dead stars with a terrible speed

I reside in the marsh and the oily gallows that such against your knees

I'm barkin' for a lark, bark, bark

I'm barkin' for a lark, bark, bark

All the pistons in my chest pump hard for you

Swallow back kerosene dreams

Watch eyes boil over

Lick thick black tarmac

Stand poised in a dance to the dead road

Release your heavy load, uh

Release your heavy load

And I'm startin' all the dogs off, yeah

And I'm starting all the dogs now

And I'm startin' all the dogs off, yeah

And I'm starting all the dogs now
