lyrics

Blaze like magma, rock of a new isle
Blood and water, see what you've forgotten
And seek the darkness off the range line

Trail on tiptoes, I'm stalked by shadows
I'm a hot steam walker, just see what you've forgotten
Taste the sun and sage so splendid

Oh, I crawl on my hands and knees, I'm an absent soul -- damn my walking legs

They won't run after anything -- just some absent soul, damn my walking legs... they're too much for me

Washed from memory, stranded in anyplace
Eons either way, a sorrow beyond the dream is calling out across the twilight

Rambling no one, know no bedtime
Young hitchhiker, why so frightened
By the darkness off the range line?

And I crawled on my hands and knees, I'm an absent soul -- no walking legs

And no running after anything just like the absent souls, damn you're walking legs

And I crawled on my hands and knees like an absent soul -- oh no walking legs!

No one strives after anything-- you're all just absent souls, damn you're walking legs!

You're too much for me... too much for me
