[00:16.18]Up and down the old homestead
[00:22.72]The naked rider gallops through his head
[00:30.89]And although the moon isn't full
[00:37.00]He still feels the pull.
[00:44.85]Out on the floor where the cowboys dance
[00:51.25]Approaching slowly at a glance
[00:59.01]Here comes the shadow of his stance
[01:05.31]The rains are fallin' from his hands.
[01:12.90]Why do you ride that crazy horse?
[01:19.29]Inquires the shadow with little remorse
[01:26.78]Just then a priest comes down the stairs
[01:32.88]With a sack of dreams and old nightmares.
[02:12.30]Who are you, the rider says
[02:18.04]You dress in black but you talk like a fed
[02:25.24]You spout ideas from books that you read
[02:31.16]Don't you care about this guy's head?
[02:47.08]Just then the sound of hoofbeats was heard
[02:52.93]And the sky was darkened by a prehistoric bird
[02:59.97]Who flew between the unfulfilled moon
[03:05.71]And the naked rider, to a telephone booth.
[03:18.47]We'll call the moon and see what's up
[03:23.86]I've got some change in this little tin cup
[03:30.86]We'll say that the shadow is growin' dim
[03:36.76]And we need some light to get back to him
[03:44.02]Just one call should do it all
[03:49.30]I'll carve this number on the wall
[03:53.69]With my beak.
[04:16.56]Flying feathers were all around
[04:21.90]The air was filled with a ringing sound.
[04:28.37]Two more birds, the second and the third
[04:33.92]Came down from the sky to deliver the word.
[04:46.01]Where have you been, they said to the first
[04:51.30]Get back to the clouds, we're dying of thirst
[04:57.52]There's not enough time to make that call
[05:03.37]Let's ditch this rider, shadow and all.
[05:29.14]The sky was filled with the beautiful birds
[05:34.94]Still on the ground some crying was heard
[05:41.95]With his dime in his hand and his hand on the dial
[05:48.72]His ears were sweating as he forced a smile.
[05:56.52]Hoofbeats beating across the range
[06:02.20]He rode through the night with his cup of change
[06:09.32]Tired and beaten he fell into slumber
[06:15.01]But up in the sky they still had his number.
[06:46.53]Up and down the old homestead
[06:51.83]The naked rider gallops through his head
[06:58.75]And although the moon isn't full
[07:03.83]He still feels the pull,
[07:07.76]Still feels the pull...
