Dead moon tonight
I saw his black tongue
And it was salamander shaped
Oh, it moved like a nightcrawler
And i was struck
I was overcome, boys and girls
I had never seen the likes of it, binoculars
I need it farther
I turned them backwards
I did, and i saw how the most lonesome crow does not caw
Where did i go
Where did i go
Where did i go wrong?
I don't even know
I don't even know
What i lost and now it's gone
What i lost and now it's gone
Where did i go
Where did i go
Where did i go wrong?
I don't even know
I don't even know
What i lost and now it's gone
What i lost and now it's gone
Gone, gone
Gone like the highway crow
When the cars come, the cars come
Dead moon tonight
I slid under his thumb
And he, he called me whistle bait
It hurt me
I holler 'til the trees shook birds
From the branches there, boys and girls
I had never seen such a lot of them ever before
Blocking the starlight
Darker than dark it was
And i cried for the loss
What one bird does
In turn does the flock
Where did i go
Where did i go
Where did i go wrong?
I don't even know
I don't even know
What i lost and now it's gone
What i lost and now it's gone
Where did i go
Where did i go
Where did i go wrong?
I don't even know
I don't even know
What i lost and now it's gone
What i lost and now it's gone
Gone, gone
Gone like the highway crow
When the cars come, the cars come
