lyrics

sittin by the side of the road
as the lights turn on i begin to feel the cold
walkin alone
gettin high by the railroad tracks
got a:
-backpack
-faded old map
-gun
-high risk of heart attack
do u know why the devil made good intentions?
the juicy worm on the hook my friend
so say goodbye to these dead trees and the dry riverbed
my love will find me before the end walking along the trail of dead

struck again last night
and my palms began to sweat at the shock of recognition on his face
(but my aim stayed true)
and afterwards i hid by the old state park in a cold sweat like the sun was gonna freeze me out

evry name that i scratch out i get redeemed
payin back the dirty blood they made us bleed
so they can guard their firstborn sons from the plagues
but still the last words on his lips will be a half-forgotten name
i know youll find me bfore i end up the same

don't cross the water
just watch for helicopters
they're finding fingerprints of the boy i used to be
way out in the desert theres an old power station
painted blinding white (you can't miss it thru the trees)
i can't breathe too well
will u stay with me?
