Lyrics from live performance


[Verse 1]

I'll bury the bodies with you

Now I forgive you, it’s time to ride out

We're getting away, way, way, way, way

From the city, mm

Unfamiliar faces at the bar

We drink to the rhythm of the swinging doors

It's going down, down, down, down, down

Like the rapids of the holy, hudson river


[Pre-Chorus]

I could be the razor in your hat

You could be the blade that’s got my back

When the good old darkness comes

I will keep you safe within my arms


[Chorus]

Oh, oh

'Cause you, you are my constant companion

You know it's true

Those sillouhettes seen drifting through the canyon

Four guns hang at the sides of 2 white stallions

Let's ride into the sun and watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn


[Verse 2]

Can you hear them coming in the distance?

The hunter's drumming hooves stalk our dreams

A love like ours don't have four walls or fences

Cause all we need, all we need

Is somwhere safe to rest our head at night

Underneath a tapestry of stars

All you are is all I need

Homes the light that shines within your eyes


[Chorus]

Cause you, you are my constant companion

You know it's true

Those sillouhettes seen drifting through the canyon

Four guns hang at the sides of 2 white stallions

Let's ride into the sun and watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn


[Bridge]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh


[Chorus]

’Cause you, you are my constant companion

You know it’s true

Two sillouhettes seen drifting through the canyon

Four guns hang at the sides of 2 white stallions

Let's ride into the sun and watch it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
