lyrics

Arching eastward and over my head
Spelling trouble with smoke in my sky
It's letter perfect there must be a manual
Is this any way to behave

All the pretty horses will carry your burden
Pick up their hooves and cause a dusty diversion
Saddle them tightly and low with the baggage
Run broken bones through your task then make your mercy killing
All the engineers will handle the details
Tend to the tether and pay for any damage
The strains of suffering like fingers to your ears
I was plastered to the ground when I sensed you coming near

I heard a whinny and I heard a shot
I saw you raise your hand and draw another notch
I felt it coming and I hit the floor
Placed pennies on the rails to stretch my empire into yours

I'd love to have your head and fine fingers
I'd love to have your pert little nose
On a platter surrounded by flowers I'd gathered
From bushes with no spiders or thorns

I rode the nausea I rode the rush
Found another skin to crawl up in a willing soul to crush
I felt it coming and I hit the floor
Broadcast my pulse along these tracks
To claim the empire isn't yours
And in spite of straps and cripplings may your legions grow wings
The clouds show some integrity and part to let you in
I took the taste directly from your lips
And now I wait along these rails to rest the empire from your grip
