Bright Giant
Текст песни Jake And The Gunslinger

Well, I saw him walking slowly 'cross the desert
The apparition flickered like a flame
The rattlensnake shook in the dust and scrawny grass surrounding
As the stranger came upon me in the strange

Well, he stepped into my shed beneath the shadows
He hunkered down and he squinted 'til he could see
And the particles and the motes of dust against the sunlight sparkled like his guns
And his blue bombadier eyes fixed on me
The same eyes that made that jawbone speak

Oh, in a red rose field, a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice gunslinging man
Oh, in a red rose field, a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice gunslinging man

Well, he sat with it and long they did palaver
Of a tower dark and a man with many names
And so we set off towards the western sea
For so the truth did go beneath the mountains on a train
Oh, it was a slow mutant train

And I saw their eyes and blasts of yellow wonder
Quick as bullets followed wicked screams
And in the dark, I fell and watched the distance growing inbetween us
And I said, "Gunslinger, there are other worlds than these!"

Oh, you'll see! There are other worlds than these!

Oh, in a red rose field a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice, gunslinging man
Oh be your fate tomorrow, sure as you can
Oh, there is no peace to follow, gunslinging man

Oh, in a red rose field a dark tower stands
Oh, there is no peace to follow, gunslinging man
Oh, in a red rose field a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice gunslinging man
