lyrics

Oh the camera was shaking and the forest hid your face
Your silhouette was just too far away
But I remember everything
I wrote it down, a tape-recorder caught the sound
Caught you whistling and howling crazy at the burning stars
The burning stars

All the whippoorwills were singing when you ran across the road
The headlight beams revealed your blinking eyes
And I am told you looked so very curious
And almost like a man
Until you hopped the fence and ran off, chattering into the heavy night
Into the heavy night

Well I heard you came down from the hills just looking for a fight
They said they saw you in a graveyard
With your face all glowing white
I heard you took a shotgun blast right to the chest
But you laughed it off
You must be blessed, or maybe you are the Devil
Or the Devil's son

But I do not believe in all of that
I'm not a fool, I'm not a tag-along for shadows supernatural
Oh I know you better
Hungry ghost or cannibal, kicking at the cabin walls
I know you
I know you better

So I followed you through wilderness
Through cold and rocky peaks
I saw your tracks in snow like waking dreams
At eighteen thousand feet
The air was sharp and thin as fiberglass
But I will not deny the past
I've got the microphone you smashed and the rope you clawed through
I swear I saw you
I swear I saw you
