Mark Lanegan, "Driving Death Valley Blues" (2003)
Well, I'm so tired of driving but here comes the highway.
I don't want to go cold turkey.
Ride with me, Jesus, so high on the mainline.
It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley.
Remember her kisses of kerosene,
The rest of her only a memory.
Don't feel so bad 'cause you made me
A picture so clear...
A picture so clear that it's crystalline.
Better run to the doctor, girl, run to the medicine.
I don't want to go cold turkey.
I'll be your Napoleon, be your crippled Alexander, but
I don't want to go up the country.
A shame there's nothing to hang it on
Except for this wreck that you made of me.
A blackbird singing a morning song,
Sing along...
Sing to the end of the century.
RIP MARK LANEGAN
