Ride Like the Devil's Son

The storm whispered in my ear 
  "Your turn to take the bullseye" 
  With the force and praise of jack straw crows 
  Knock, knock, knocking at my door 
  But after twenty years I hang my spurs 
  On the perch of these telephone wires 
  They used to drag on cupid heels 
  With true north in their compass 
  Wandering in circles 
  With nothing left to lose 
  Carved on a mountain where a pale horse rides 
  The bible, yes the bible is the truth 
  Can you read my palms? 
  Can you read me heart? 
  Can you read my lips? 
  Can you read my thoughts when I close my eyes and I ride 
  And I ride like the devil's son 
  With vultures flying overheard 
  And pecking at my carcass 
  They cauterize those highway lanes 
  That lead us out of darkness 
  Wandering in circles 
  With nothing left to lose 
  Carved on a mountain where a pale horse rides 
  The bible, yes the bible is the truth 
  Can you read my palms? 
  Can you read me heart? 
  Can you read my lips? 
  Can you read my thoughts when I close my eyes and I ride 
  And I ride like the devil's son 
  Can you read my palms? 
  Can you read me heart? 
  Can you read my lips? 
  Can you read my thoughts when I close my eyes and I ride 
  And I ride 
  Can you read my palms? 
  Can you read me heart? 
  Can you read my lips? 
  Can you read my thoughts when I close my eyes and I ride 
  And I ride 
  Can you read my palms? 
  Can you read me heart? 
  Can you read my lips? 
  Can you read my thoughts when I close my eyes and I ride 
  And I ride like the devil's son
