Neptune Brothers Songtext
von The Devil and the Almighty Blues

You move like trouble down the mountain
Dreams on the river
A snake in the bloodstream
Winds that make me shiver

Keep your eyes on the horizon
Hands on the lever
Hide everything and everyone
Bury it forever


The mane of the mare you cling to
Hair white as silver
Fingers break and let go
Fall out into winter

Break the stone break the bone
Go on swing the hammer
Grind mountains to dust
Choke life out of summer

Settle down and settle up
Pay what is owed
Lay your hands upon the barrel
Chop them off and go


Tongue sharp as glass
Cuts me over and over
With the whip of a serpent
Caress me like a lover
