he was a silver tongue devil,
standing there waiting for a ride,
looking for a one way out of this town
and you know i couldn't let him down
so i asked him 'how far?' he said 'as far as you'll go,'
i just couldn't say no
it was a thursday in december or was it september,
the last thing i remember was the cloudless sky above
he said he saw a good friend die,
i never thought to ask him why
i could have sworn i heard him say he knew who did it
we headed off into the dead air of the desert
to a place i've never known
he looked into the sun that shone above us
then he smiled and spoke how good it was
yet things change and they stay the same
home sweet home,
there was a stillness as the light set behind us
the last thing i remember was the laughter in my ears,
fearless yet fearful i stared into his eyes
and he grabbed my hand, i started to fly
ageless, timeless, as i gave him control,
he said 'that's it my friend, i own your soul'
