About

“Witch Mountain Bridge” shows a strong influence of the work of Neil Young & Crazy Horse in the soloing, and a bit of Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson in the melody. (Malkmus covered Fairport’s “Tale In A Hard Time” around the time of this album.)

Witch Mountain Bridge Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In better times
A spell could save you
And wine that we threw into a chasm
Came right back at you
Now it's all so straight and narrow
And the skeptics rule the nation
The servants scream
"Always wear black"

[Verse 2]
A stupid sin
Pneumatic witch-scapes
Give you a skewed impression
Of the realms of the magic arts
Yes, it's all over your head
So enjoy the dim vacation
A sermon reads
"Never wear black"

[Instrumental Verse]

[Verse 3]
There is no "now"
You can tape that to your deviled brow
Time came before the end, my lord
Explain your cattle call
What we need is a soft second serve
Of your fine approximations
Shepherd read
"Always wear black"

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
You find the grace in true frustration
Time came before the end my lord, explain
