lyrics

The sand is dancing in the California wind
Ice is melting in my gin
Something keeps crawling
Itching underneath my skin
Just the way it's always been
I hear the crying of an eagle way on high
Pointing to the desert sky

Lightning starts flashing
And I'm running down the road looking for which way to go
There's something waiting on a dark and lonely hill
And the pull gets stronger still
The rain starts slashing
I stumble on the mud and rocks
Looking up I see a box and it knocks.

Showdown
Showdown underneath the stars

Then four dark horses gallop through the jagged air
Devils tangles in their hair
They're coming for me
So I grab the box and run, reaching for my trusty gun
But the box starts shaking
Jumping jiving so that I have to let it go
I let it go

Showdown
Showdown underneath the stars

The lid flies open
And a giant bird of light lifts her wings into the night
My great-great-grandma was a maiden Cherokee
And her spirit now I see
Her eyes blaze fire
A giant ray of light blasts those demons out of sight
And the rain is running dry in another newborn sky
And the bird she now is gone but I still can hear her song.
