El Rey - Howlin' Rain

Did you fall in love with the cannon’s fire?

And the smell of a smoldering world

In the bloody sand where lead flies like insects through the air

This is just a moment of confusion, birds like a lattice to the sun

You calculate the simple execution by the silent run

Of the numbers in our blood

You don’t have to go through any more changes, it’s all done now

You don’t have to break the wild horses that run you and run you down

You don’t have to untangle the bells that jingle and chime and charm you

You don’t have to change, you don’t have to hold onto your past

You don’t have to carry it down this path, it’s all part of the deal

In the pitch of the night is a stranger, strange as the shadow by your side

It calls to your mind a face you haven’t called upon for years

Once you were a magnificent fiend, eyes like electric eels

An executioner of the highest degree

Here you are family sweet torturer in the arms of the secret world

A piano plays to the vague erosion of the day

You don’t have to go through any more changes, it’s all done now

You don’t have to break the wild horses that run you and run you down

You don’t have to untangle the bells that jingle and chime and charm you

You don’t have to change, you don’t have to hold onto your past

You don’t have to carry it down this path, it’s all part of the deal
