Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From the dusty mesa
Her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches
Of the poison creosote
[Verse 2]
She twines her spines up slowly
Towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin
My fingers ran with blood
[Verse 3]
In the hushing dusk
Under a swollen, silver moon
I came walking with the wind
To watch the cactus bloom
[Verse 4]
A strange hunger haunted me
The looming shadows danced
I fell down to the thorny brush
And felt a trembling hand
[Verse 5]
When the last light warms the rocks
And the rattlesnakes unfold
Mountain cats will come
To drag away your bones
[Verse 6]
And rise with me forever
Across the silent sand
And the stars will be your eyes
And the wind will be my hands
