Black Heart

Calexico


Spring is frozen now i'm stuck in low 
Wrapped with wire, tapped to the heart 
Can't find no poison, now i've got no cure 
(the) fangs are stuck inside my skin 
Payne county line 
Watching unjust claims 
One man's righteousness is another man's 
Long haul, sentence carried out 
Long haul, counting the miles 
To the four corners of the world 
Spring is rusted shut, (faith's) coiled and cracked 
Apparitions worth their weight in gold 
Scratched in metal, name erodes away 
Hands are scarred, heart is charred 
Burnt though, and ashen 
Trip on fence post line 
Sifting through the remains 
One man's close pursuit is another man's 
Last chance, make it through the divide 
Last chance, suffer the weight or get buried by this 
Black heart, sweeping over the land 
Black heart, crawling its way 
To the four corners of the world
