lyrics

I'm beautiful on a hilltop blood rock
don't you know that I have never lost
two heads and one's forever gonna stalk me
me and my baby, we have never lost
scars burned now won't you light up all the big sky
a little broken but I know the cost
stack the jewels, put them up upon the high shelf
sights alive out on the little cross

Line em up into a single file,
hold tight baby, we'll go out in style
fade the lights, sing a story just for me
Line em up into a single file
it's a day of repair out in the open wild
fade the lights, sing a story just for me

Cross the town 'round the bulbs and the sculptures
put your hard hat on, then descend
my empire's where I'm radiant and big-time
I'll never lose and I'll not pretend
yellow-eyed on the one-way backroads
my copperhead lady local dear
don't let the twists and the turns make you sick, no
we'll drive along and we'll follow fear

Line em up into a single file,
hold tight baby, we'll go out in style
fade the lights, sing a story just for me
Line em up into a single file
it's a day of repair out in the open wild
fade the lights, sing a story just for me
