Lyrics

Dead before the sun could rise
I stole the silver off my lover's eyes
Rolled out on the dark demise
Of midnight breaking day
And I was born full grown
Raised up wild on mortal bones
And passions piled upon my head
A blessed child, father of the man
I cut my hair, caught a train to Jackson
I took a name, I found a range
Where my voice could make no sound
I met a man who told me, "Son
I can see you're on the run
And if you tell me where you're going
I'll tell you where you're bound"
They put me off outside of town
A cold black rain was coming down
I laid my head on the red clay ground
And slept for a thousand years
And I woke into a fever dream
Where silence talked and money screamed
And nothing was but only seemed
And nobody seemed to care
I cut my teeth on the bread of pure temptation
Tried it all, I learned to fall
Like I would never hit the ground
I met a ghost who looked like me
I asked him, "Is it plain to see
Or is it hidden?"
He never made a sound
I was a lion in a circus ring
A scarecrow dressed up like a king
Innocent of anything
Like love and going blind
So I set all my clothes on fire
Sold my soul to anybody
Wrapped my heart in concertina wire
And showed it for a song
I couldn't run, ran until I stumbled
Struck out alone, a rolling stone
Forty days came up and down
I chased the river to the source
I met a girl on a pale horse
She pressed her fingers up against my lips
And I fell down dead and gone
