Pitch & Sway Songtext
von Giant Sand

Way out on the horizon
There′s a monsoon waiting
Way out beyond your eyes son
There's dreaded anticipation

With the darkness here prevailing
Even stars are taking cover
The sheets held up once for sailing
Are going to bury another

He′s been in command for so long now
Of all the defenses
He's been in command for so long now
He's taken leave of his senses


There′s a hunch
There′s an itching
He figures it's time to forget
He′s not going to scratch it
He's going to live to regret it

There′s a mother
Giving birth to a fine son
She swears by the blood
He's going to shine like the sun

He′s going to grow on up
And he's going to retain
He's going to show up
When a leader is needed to maintain

It′s just the way
The equilibrium lives with the
Pitch and the sway

Living everyday
With the pitch and the sway
