Taken from Handsome Family’s sixth album Singing Bones, “Far From Any Road” achieved mainstream success when it became the theme song for the first season of HBO’s crime drama True Detective.
[Verse 1: Brett Sparks]
From the dusty mesa
Her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches
Of the poison creosote
She twines her spines up slowly
Towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin
My fingers ran with blood
[Verse 2: Rennie Sparks]
In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom
A strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand
[Bridge: Brett Sparks and Rennie Sparks]
When the last light warms the rocks
And the rattlesnakes unfold
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones
[Verse 3: Brett Sparks and Rennie Sparks]
Then rise with me forever
Across the silent sands
And the stars will be your eyes
And the wind will be my hands
