Circle the Wagons

Do you see the lone rider
You see him riding at dawn
And how he's covers his face
And how he's riding alone
Circle the wagons baby
Circle the wagons, 'cause here he comes
Oh here he comes
In a single file they ride
With a stone cold look in their eye
A dark crown that they wear inside
It's the turning, the turning of the tide
Circle the wagons baby
Circle the wagons 'cause here they come
Oh here they come
Circle the wagons baby
Circle the wagons 'cause here they come
Oh here they come
Oh, oh 'cause here they come
And fast falls the night
And you whisper it'll be alright
Hot lead, and a fire is burning
And we're all just praying that we'll make 'til morning
Circle the wagons baby
Circle the wagons 'cause here they come
Oh here they come
Circle the wagons baby
Circle the wagons 'cause here they come
Oh here they come
Circle the wagons baby
Circle the wagons 'cause here they come
Oh here they come
Oh, oh 'cause here they come
Oh, oh 'cause here they come

Mountain Man
03:25

I'm gonna be a lonely mountain man
Because I can't seem to keep my friends, oh no
Because I am haunted and they can't seem to understand
Oh I'm just gonna be a lonesome mountain man
And I have been alone a long long time
I lost my money, lost my soul, and lost my mind
I spot a little coyote in the road
And I am gonna follow him to see where he goes
And I'm wondering now where it leads
And I'm wondering now where it's taking me
Will it lead me far from my mountain home?
Is this a route I travel, oh baby, all alone?
I never crossed the river in all my life
I paddle fast to leave my pain and leave my strife
And something is calling out to me from the other side
And I may drown but I have to see what I can find
And I'm wondering now where it leads
And I'm wondering now where it's taking me
Will it carry me far from my mountain home?
Is this the route I travel, oh baby, all alone?

Carousel

Falling in love with you is a carousel
Where you've the lioness and I've the gazelle
Caught in a chase for as long as the tickets will sell
And you smile, and I laugh, and wonder how long it will last
This love, this ride, this carousel
Oh, this carousel
Oh
I'll cry like a child when it comes to an end
I'll cry like a child lost in the crowd, won't see you again
It's hard to stand, it's hard to see, it blurs everything
The spinning lights, swirling song, oh but something is wrong
You're riding away, farther away with every rotation we make
And no tears, no crying, just hoping that someday I'll find
This love, this ride, this carousel
Oh, this carousel
Oh, this carousel
Ah oh, oh sweet carousel
Ah oh, oh sweet carousel
Oh sweet carousel
Oh sweet carousel
Oh, oh sweet carousel
Oh, oh sweet carousel

The Devil's Coming
03:50
|

This is the last time I kiss my baby's lips
Or feel the weight of the pistol on my hips
And if this black end can be redesigned
I'd lead a different life, and leave this all behind
Anything to escape this apocalypse
The devil's coming and I can't escape
The time is running out and the hour is late, oh baby
The devil is coming and I won't look back
I'm riding to the end of this dead-end track
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape
Good deeds can't pay for the price of my sin
I never thought about how this was gonna end
No hope for heaven, no nothing for the sinner
Was it worth for the 30 piece of silver?
No paying off the devil when the devil's within
The devil's coming and I can't escape
My time is running out and the hour is late
The devil's coming and I won't look back
Riding to the end of this dead-end track
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape
All alone in the dark of the desert night
All alone, save our shadows in the pale moonlight
And in his bony hand, the devil's got my number
To take my soul to the long dark slumber
Maybe I'm good for one last fight
The devil's coming and I can't escape
My time is running out and the hour is late
The devil is coming and I won't look back
I'm riding to the end of this dead-end track
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape
The devil's coming and I can't escape
Time is running out and the hour is late, baby
The devil is coming and I won't look back
I'm riding to the end of this dead-end track
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape
I'm riding, I'm riding on, yeah riding and I can't escape

The Fire
04:03

I need your love like I need air in my chest
It's the look in your eye, your touch, and the cut of your dress
You're putting me to the test
You're putting me to the test
You smile wide with the wind in your hair
Your eyes meet me eyes like the moon before a solar flare
Oh come with me if you dare
Oh come with me if you dare
And in the car, we'll get outta town
We'll ride through the night so far that we'll never be found
No I don't wanna slow down
No I don't wanna slow down
I feel your love with a burning desire
That rips through my heart like the flames of a raging fire
It's burning higher and higher
It's burning higher and higher
With you this city is a playground at night
And it passes in a blur of cocktails and burning lights
You better hold on tight
Baby, better hold on tight
I won't stop 'til I know that you're mine
Praying to the stars in the sky just like a holy shrine
Please just send me a sign
Please just send me a sign
In the car, we'll get outta this town
We'll ride through the night so far that we'll never be found
No I don't wanna slow down
No I don't wanna slow down
I feel your love with a burning desire
That rips through my heart like the flames of a raging fire
It's burning higher and higher
It's burning higher and higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
It's burning higher and higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
And higher and higher
It's burning higher and higher

Bones in the Walls Tucson, Arizona
An indie, Americana folk rock duo based out of Tucson Arizona.
Music inspired by dark southwestern cities and desert landscapes.🌵
Bones in the Walls recommends:
Strange and dark western vibes, surfy guitar, heavy tremolo, broody vocals, electronic drums, synthy keyboard backing. Like a soundtrack to a dark drive across the desert.
go to album
Dark organs, retro guitars harping along to eerily sung vocals. It's dissonant, and transporting, it'll take you to another time, to dark obscure halls of memories you've long forgotten.
go to album
A dark jazz lounge singer revival, most songs sound like heartache, and loss. Each songs blends retro electronic and acoustic instrumentation that pair perfectly with the warm singing style. Love it.
