about

this song inspired by a short story titled Revenge by Jim Harrison

lyrics

Remember when you blacked out
And you were left for dead
Not even a word left for eyes that don’t forget
The scavengers revived you just to watch you bleed to death
Left for dead

In the night you remember your war-torn lover
Hiding beneath you as they beat down your door
They cut her lips her face lit up red
They kicked her to the ground then they burnt your house down
Left for dead

Ringing in your dreams the sound of her singing
As you barreled down lone desert roads
Your Mexican rose now grown chill and faded as the dawn
Left for dead

Ringing in you dreams the sound of her singing
“Quiero dormir el sueño
de las manzanas,
alejarme del tumulto
de los cementerios.” *
Left for dead

*quote from Gacela de la muerte oscura- a poem by Federico Garcia Lorca
