Intro
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
Interlude
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
Interlude
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 winds will be my hands
