lyrics

Build your cities eight miles high
Take your plans from your enemies’ minds
Make yourself into anything
But you can’t win
When you make shadows out of every inch that you get
And treat every easy woman you’ve had as an accomplishment

When I drive I drive all night long
I leave whole mountains in my dust before the dawn
And when the sun comes up, I’m thirsty still
I'd drink from you and drink from you, my nourishment and my thrill

Take your heave heart
Put it in my arms
I’m a lonely boy, I’m a lonely boy
And that’s as close to free as you’ll get
So come and walk this wilderness with me, unconquered yet

The night I left, I saw a claw in the sky
White skeleton fingers, tore at the face of the sunlight
As it dipped beneath her shadow
And pulled me from the start
Was that your voice from out west
Who corralled these dead cowboys in a smoke ring around my heart

Come and run with me, or I’ll run with you
When I first saw you in your little cotton dress, my soul turned blue
And god must have mistook me for the sky
Because he said, boy, she’s laid her body out under you, you better make it rain
And shine

Take your heavy heart
Put it in my arms
I’m a lonely boy, I’m a lonely boy
And that’s as close to free as you’ll get
So come and walk this wilderness with me, unconquered yet
