My blacksnake and my donkey keep the predators at bay
The coyotes and the copperheads stay well enough away
The power that protects me is a circle made of salt
But when you come to get me I won't feel a thing at all
The vultures that surround me ride the thermals up on high
Yeah, ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die
The scarab on my pillow whispers vespers as I sleep
You saved me from the sparrows, now my soul is yours to keep
Come morning we awaken to a garnet colored sky
The mirror cracked and broken making Xes of my eyes
Can't turn away the darkness so instead I hold you tight
Yeah, ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die
Light the fire
Sing the song
Hit the high hat
Kick the drum
Secret language
On the tongue
Something wicked
This way comes
There's a light
Without any heat
It shines just for me, my love
Shines just for me
There's a night
Without a moon
It comes just for you, my love
Comes just for you
(There's a light)
Blacksnake and my donkey keep the predators at bay
(Without any heat)
The coyotes and the copperheads stay well enough away
(It shines just for me, my love)
The power that protects me is a circle made of salt
(Shines just for me)
But when you come to get me I won't feel a thing at all
(There's a night)
The scarab on my pillow whispers vespers as I sleep
(Without a moon)
You saved me from the sparrows, now my soul is yours to keep
(It comes just for you, my love)
Come morning we awaken to a garnet colored sky
(Comes just for you)
The mirror cracked and broken making Xes of my eyes
Light the fire
Sing the song
Hit the high hat
Kick the drum
Secret language
On the tongue
Something wicked
This way comes
Heat haze on the highway there's a shimmer in the air
Out on the horizon there's a figure standing there
Strange hallucinations as the sky is growing thin
From the corners of my vision see the shadows closing in
Is it just sleep deprivation or the ergot on the rye
Yeah, ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die
Ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die
Ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die
Ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die
