Red Moon at Dawn (Remastered)

[Intro] Plucked strings in the heat Pink sky going grey Dust ghosts on the freeway You say we should turn away [Verse 1] Boot prints in the sand But they’re walking back again Shadows dragging slow Like they’re crawling from my sins Radio plays static prayers Wires shake along the ridge Something moves out past the fence line On the dry bone bridge [Chorus] Red moon at dawn Bleeding on the desert floor Red moon at dawn They’re crawling through the saguaros Red moon at dawn Every dead thing singing along Red moon at dawn And I don’t know which side I’m on [Verse 2] Jawbones in a line Teeth grin through the salt and rust Hands break through the crust Like the earth forgot to keep them shut Your fingers drum the dash You say “Drive or say goodbye” Their eyes are little broken mirrors Throwing back the sky [Chorus] Red moon at dawn Bleeding on the desert floor Red moon at dawn They’re marching through the saguaros Red moon at dawn Every dead thing singing along Red moon at dawn And I don’t know which side I’m on [Bridge] (hey) Will they remember our names When their tongues fall out in the sand Will they dance in our clothes Spin in circles Hold our hands If I kiss you right now With the world halfway gone Will we wake up on the wrong side Of that rising Rotten sun [Chorus] Red moon at dawn Bleeding on the desert floor Red moon at dawn They’re laughing through the saguaros Red moon at dawn Every dead thing singing along Red moon at dawn And I don’t know which side I’m on [Bridge 2] [Long guitar solo – fast tremolo picking over galloping groove Wild whammy dives and shrieking pinch harmonics Circling one climbing riff until it almost breaks] [Outro] Tracks fade off the road But the footprints still go on We keep driving straight Into that red moon at dawn
