Neptune Brothers by The Devil and the Almighty Blues Lyrics

You move like trouble down the mountain
Dreams  on the river
A  snake in the bloodstream
Winds that make me shiver

Keep your eyes on the horizon
Hands  on the lever
Hide  everything and everyone
Bury it forever

The  mane of the mare you cling to
Hair white as silver
Fingers break and let go
Fall out into winter

Break  the stone break the bone
Go on swing the hammer
Grind mountains to dust
Choke life out of summer

Settle down and settle up
Pay what is owed
Lay your hands upon the barrel
Chop them off and go
Tongue sharp as glass
Cuts me over and over
With the whip of a serpent
Caress me like a lover
