Intro: verse 1: John Darnielle Sun just clearing the treeline when my day begins Slippery ice on the bridges, northeastern wind coming in You will bruise my head, I will strike your heel Drive past woods of northern pine, try not to let go of the wheel Dream at night Girl with a cobra tattoo On her arm Its head flaring out like a parachute Intro Verse: 2 Prisms in the dew drops in the underbrush Skatecase sailor's purses floating down in the black needlerush Higher than the stars I will set my throne God does not need Abraham, God can raise children from stones Dream at night Girl with a cobra tattoo And try to hear The garbled transmissions come through Outro
