Far From Any Road - The Handsome Family

(Main Title Theme from "True Detective")

From the dusty may sun her looming shadow grows

Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote

She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun

And when I touched her skin my fingers ran with blood

In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon

I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom

A strange hunger haunted me; the looming shadows danced

I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand

When the last light warms the rocks and rattlesnakes unfold

Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones

And rise with me forever across the silent sand

And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands
