Castilleja

Woah, Castilleja

You're a prairie fire dancing in the wind

But you're cold as a high sierra

Every time I try to bring your flower in

I promised you the golden California

On the painted horse and reins of silver thread

But if I can't steal your heart, Castilleja

I'll end up with a price upon my head

You were bold, Castilleja

When I saw you at Mojave's drinking slow

Pull up poison like an arrow

Was just tryna say how much I love you so

I promised you the golden California

On the painted horse and reins of silver thread

But if I can't steal your heart, Castilleja

I'll haunt you like a fugitive instead

Two strangers mate when dark and shadow

Then moved against papered wall

When suddenly, there loomed another

And Castilleja came to fall

So I lit out east of Inyo

To where the highway turns to sand

There, I met that heartless devil

With desert flower in his hand

And I was quick, like a streak of lightning

I fired first and then he fell

Now I dream of Castilleja

A secret I will never tell

I promised you the golden California

On the painted horse and reins of silver thread

But if I can't steal your heart, Castilleja

I'll ghost this world long after I'm dead

Woah, Castilleja

Oh, Castilleja

Woah, Castilleja
