Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She broke down on a highway
Miles from nowhere, it had no number
She was lost, a long way from home
She was fed up with the routine
And she got trouble with her man
She blew town with a vengeance
[Chorus]
Painted desert, peyote rain
Lord, don't let me go insane
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Who am I? Who are you?
I was only passing through
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
[Instrumental]
A strange encounter to be sure
He was wicked, he was pure
Hear him calling, he's calling for you
Come with me into the mystic
Come with me into the night
We can live, live forever
[Chorus]
Painted desert, peyote rain
Lord, don't let me go insane
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Through your eyes, I can see
You have left your mark on me
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
[PostChorus]
Jimmy crack corn, blow your horn
Jimmy crack corn, why don't you blow your horn?
[Instrumental]
Painted desert, peyote rain
Lord, don't let me go insane
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
He takes you to a sacred place
Drinks a tear off your face
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker, talk to the spirits
Talk to the wind
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
Skinwalker (Skinwalker)
[Instrumental]
Ceremony (Ceremony)
Of the cloud people
Ceremony (Ceremony, ceremony)
Of the cloud people (Of the cloud people)
Ceremony (Ceremony, ceremony)
Of the cloud people (Of the cloud people)
Ceremony (Ceremony, ceremony)
Of the cloud people (Of the cloud people)
Ceremony (Ceremony, ceremony)
Of the cloud people (Of the cloud people)
Ceremony (Ceremony, ceremony)
Of the cloud people (Of the cloud people)
Ceremony (Ceremony, ceremony)
Of the cloud people (Of the cloud people)
