lyrics

alone in the seat he’s feeling the heat
dust in your eyes
sun in the street
black death is flying over our heads
wheels screaming
demons sleep in our beds

hand prints they stain
mark the windowpane
red in our eyes
wipe it away
black death is flying over our heads
wheels screaming
demons sleep in our beds

give it to me devils
kill it in time
i can always take
but is it mine?

give it to us baby
kill it in time
i can always take
but is it mine?

give it to us baby
kill it in time
i can always take
what isn't it mine

running your lead
fall in dry heat
wildest dream
mescal sun beam

burn in the heat
fall in too deep
wildest scream
mescal sun dream

blood in sand
hand in hand
dying it seems
mescal sun dream

give it to us baby
kill it in time
i can always take what isn’t mine

slam the door
hit the floor

give it to us baby
kill it in time

blood in sand
hand in hand
slam the door
we hit the floor

wander the sand
arid dark land
wildest dream
mescal sun beam

biting the hand
under the sand
dying it seems
mescal sun beam
