Brendan Benson - The Switch And The Spur Lyrics
(One, Two)In the heat of the desert sun,On the blistering trailAn appaloosa and,A wanted man sprung from jailSlow in motion and shadow-lessThe switch and the spursEvery living thing, with a fatal stingBark and rattle this curseThe rider hallucinatesThe snapping hooves on the sandSpits a venom dream, recalls a stranger screamAnd a broken hand...The saddle spotted with sweat and bloodThe poison pumps through his veinsThere's no stopping this, and now he's powerlessStill holding the reigns...Any pour souls who trespass against usWhether it be beast or manWill suffer the bite or be stung dead on sightBy those who inhabit this landFor there's is the power and this is the kingdomAs sure as the sun does burnSo enter this path, but heed these four words,You shall never return...Any pour souls who trespass against usWhether it be beast or manWill suffer the bite or be stung dead on sightBy those who inhabit this landFor there's is the power and this is the kingdomAs sure as the sun does burnSo enter this path, but heed these four words,You shall never return...
