lyrics

What's with the whitewashed witchcraft
these constellations seem to cite?
I'm sure you have more clarity than me:
I'm a hawk caught in a drone strike

I'm a vagrant by the preacher on his corner
ceremonially stripped of all my guns
with my hands out for the medicine I need
to sleep everywhere at once

I'm a hunter, baby
I thought you'd better know
I am camouflaged completely in the Indiana snow

and I experiment with metamorphosis,
babbling a pentecostal prayer,
remembering the sandalwood and cardamom
and the oils in your hair

You noticed in my beard the first greying there
as I noticed I was older in a flash
and you're a voyeur, but I'm very accommodating
when you look at me like that

I'm a hunter, baby
I thought you'd better know:
there's a grizzly in my heart and an arrow in my bow

There is no unknowing what I know
the season's in so zero in and pull

I'm a hunter, baby
I thought you'd better know
I am desecrating Muir and discrediting Thoreau

I'm a hunter, baby
I thought you'd better know
I can see you in the dark
Your eyes glow
