Cloud Riders

Standing down the edge of the cliff Didn’t think it would come to this A dead calm before the storm Not a sound from their engines From the other side, saw a shooting star at 4:22am A warning shot from the rhythm demons Or from the guitar preacher I’ve been touched by both And by the Holy Ghost From the other side, saw a shooting star at 4:22am Underneath the stars above I said, "No, stop," I am not giving up on us And I am not going anywhere soon Any crap, your bass guitar Help me bring in the October moon And you shot, run for cover I scream, rev the tramp’s engine You say baby we’re too late From the cloud riders, no escape Darling, what’s the blanket for? Riding out this storm We’ll be riding out this storm Carved a sain against the grain At the nine doors to get The secrets of dreams The ones I could hear them singing From the other side Back then, the thunder gods They used to cast out lights But then I lost touch Close to when her chariot From the other side A chariot pulled by cats Purring will be returning From the other side Girl, it’s time you take back your light Underneath the stars above I said, "No, stop," I am not giving up on us And I am not going anywhere soon Any crap, your bass guitar Help me bring in the October moon And you shot, run for cover I scream, rev the tramp’s engine You say baby we’re too late From the cloud riders, no escape Darling, what’s the blanket for? Riding out this storm We’ll be riding out this storm Leaving here, this storm Leaving here, this storm Leaving here, this storm Leaving here, this storm Leaving here
