Sourced from Genius — imagery may differ from official artwork.
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 And strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced I fell down to the thorny brush and felt the trembling hands When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold The 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
