Canyonland Lyrics by Kaia Kater

Grenades

2018

[Verse 1]
In a freeway trailer the horses flash golden manes
You puff the vapor and blow it off the window pane
My heavy braids fall like ropes pulling softly at you
Urging you to look in my direction
The dark-haired dusk flaunts her coral lips at sunset
You are fussing with the tape deck
I am teetering, pacing at the edge of you
Mining for a breach in your inflection

[Chorus]
In the canyonland of rock
Where the twitching jackal hides
And the woman takes her time
Takes her time
In the canyonland of stone
You can size me up and run
Come on, cleave me from your rib
I’ll be gone

[Verse 2]
There was a time when all I knew was all I wanted
When every crop was set ablaze
Like the bird I have turned and pulled you into me
Whistling all the themes to your resentment
Steady baby, steady on the hazard lights
The lizard crosses on the road
My broken oath is hanging from the dashboard face
And you are waiting to reload

[Chorus]
In the canyonland of rock
Where the twitching jackal hides
And the woman takes her time
Takes her time
In the canyonland of stone
You can size me up and run
Come on, cleave me from your rib
I’ll be gone

[Bridge]
I see you breaking
Baby, what for?
Baby, what for?
Maybe for me
I see you breaking
Baby, what for?
Baby, what for?
Maybe for me

[Chorus]
In the canyonland of rock
Where the twitching jackal hides
And the woman takes her time
Takes her time
In the canyonland of stone
You can size me up and run
Come on, cleave me from your rib
I’ll be gone
In the canyonland of rock
Where the twitching jackal hides
And the woman takes her time
Takes her time
In the canyonland of stone
You can size me up and run
Come on, cleave me from your rib
I’ll be gone
