if I’d been singing, you’d be dead poisoned from my song in your head you get off easy because this hunt is over count yourself lucky that this hunt is over if I’d have moved, you’d have froze I’m all blades and you are the rose if I’d been searching, you’d be found where you are is where you’re bound if I’d have spoken, you’d have known camouflaged but my cover blown so breathe easy because this hunt is over walk freely because this hunt is over you made it barely now this hunt is over I had you nearly but this hunt is over

she’ll stop pretending she can’t believe its true that she must love the same things I do the music’s intending to make her feel the blues but she's not grooving to the drummer's cues she won’t be singing with your melody she says, "I don’t like music" she won’t be crying to this threnody she says, "I don’t like music" she's not impressed by the polyphony she says, "I don’t like music" she's not finding any harmony in this music done with defending so now I'll hear her through she's not nourished by this soul food find her unbending find her argument crude she's not lifted by my melodic mood she won’t be singing with your melody she says, "I don’t like music" she won’t be crying to this threnody she says, "I don’t like music" she's not impressed by the polyphony she says, "I don’t like music" she's not finding any harmony in this music

Cloud Peak 03:49
in the fog of Bighorn, the beast strips off his crown under the eyes of Cloud Peak his kingdom will surely come when spring’s dominion is won under the eyes of Cloud Peak but lines are drawn from our feet we can’t share the cycle of the beast our eyes on Cloud Peak our love's summit has come

life is all laid in bone a marrow of memory trace the blood flow and enter the reverie you say your mind is made all pieces played have you seen what’s written in your heart’s own wax hold the flame heated seal unglued flesh and bone, time has etched the truth in you life is all laid in bone a marrow of memory trace the blood flow and enter the reverie I know I can be found we're not tied or bound you'll find me deep within your heart's own wax hold the flame heated seal unglued flesh and bone, time has etched the truth in you

turn into the Desert Inn try the Lady Luck Bar 90 feet of ice and vice cool off from the car syndicate hood says, "take a hike" while the glowing man lights up with a lucky strike hear the late night crooners money going fast whole city waiting for another big blast raise your glass up to the boom from the Wilbur Clark sky room so raise your glass up to the boom from the Wilbur Clark sky room down the Vegas strip the big slipper spins a new frontier of crooked dice begins hear the late night crooners money going fast whole city waiting for another big blast raise your glass up to the boom from the Wilbur Clark sky room so raise your glass up to the boom from the Wilbur Clark sky room another dark cloud rises up over the street and at a cool lit pool ladies dip their feet so raise your glass to the boom

illusion in the art seduced the heart I study every move just to catch the bluff feels just like Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show growing younger on a carousel going faster into the dark illusion in the art—it’s just the start I master every move and transform my blood feels just like Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show growing younger on a carousel going faster into the dark

For the Love of God it's come to a head now that the paint has dried we can be fed Hirst is into Hirst at a record price stacking the deck with 'Drella' just to break the ice what’s to read between all these modern lines? nevermind irony laden symbols of what’s not there please for Pablo's sake tell me it's just a dream Rockefeller fingerprints leave behind a certain gleam yellow and pink lavender on rose a brand new colder phase that's clothed in gold Nude, Green Leaves and Bust just yesterday’s star gamble on the stone faces to claim a pearl for Qatar what’s to read between all these modern lines? nevermind irony laden symbols of what’s not there

it opens with a train four gunmen rush in then staring at the lens, Barnes empties his gun six shots into the camera twelve minutes launched the west the big man, they might need him but the barkeep shoots him down newspaper man says, “print the legend” Ford's valley now lies silent no horses kick up dust word travels to Weedsport where Justus lay calm six shots into the camera twelve minutes launched the west the big man, they might need him but the barkeep shoots him down newspaper man says, “print the legend”
