lyrics

fine, go take the road / back to California
start at the center / circle out westward
and tonight my mind / is drained of dreams
It's Halloween / Halloween
and I feel something strange
the wind and the rain
rattling the bones that you broke
deed was done
when your silver tongue spoke

and when you wake / you will be the lonely liar
city grown cold / California on fire
empty out the night / to fill with song
'cause I'm alright / I'm alright when nothings wrong
with the way / your wearing your face
carrying the cards / cut to the wicked one
darkening the sun / queen of spades

oh no, scream like a kettle whistle
don't speak sweetly to me / green eyed ghost

grab your gun / aim it at the sun
slay in the morn' / so long, so long
grab your gun / aim it at the sun
slay it the morn' say/ so long, so long

come tomorrow / I'll be dreaming of a nightmare
a willow in the wind / shadowy lady, i'm scared
clutch a fist of sand / it's my body
much less than a man
take yourself to California / I'll never understand
why we spoke / out of turn
light a smoke / let it burn
twist your mouth / say the word
my song / sung
your silver tongue / broken
