MOSSBACK, during the album’s pre-release listening party, said Black Canyon Spirt Dance “is about a guy in Black Canyon City who has lost everything, and he is not doing so hot, and his wife is gone, and his children hate him and everything. And he remembers that his grandma left this book of recipe...
[Verse 1]
Empty house, modern things
Stainless range with the warranty
Talking face on the screen
Charming smile, polished teeth
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Empty eyes, swollen feet
Picture frame beneath a sheet
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
[Bridge]
I always said as we'd fall asleep
That if you die, die with me
[Instrumental Section]
[Verse 2]
Empty eyes, fall asleep
Hope evades, sullen dreams
Mother's call, beckoning
In the pages, find the key
[Instrumental Section]
[Verse 3]
Sacred whispers from the night before
Cactus liquor, feathered serpent soar
Reptiles kiss-ah, datura sight
Exiled practice
Three eyed sparrow take flight
[Outro]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
