Voodoo Cowboy Lyrics - So Many Nights - Cat Empire

His mother was a snake 

His father was a scarecrow 

Born in the desert with his hat on his head 

Never missed a shot, sharp as a pharaoh 

Tequila in the sunrise, the desert was his bed 

Now he could dance the barn dance 

Like nobody before him 

But no woman would take him 

'Cause his eyes were rather strange 

In them you could see the emptiness of the desert 

Yellow like a scarecrow 

Black like a snake

He was a voodoo cowboy 

And he had never found a girl to call his own 

On and on and on that lonely cowboy 

But a cowboy's never really 

Cowboy's never really alone, really alone 

He had a horse whose name was Plenty 

And they saw things no man or beast should ever seen 

Out in the redness, out in the empty 

Where ghosts and spirits walk around like you and me 

He met a girl called Annabelle 

And she was just the prettiest thing he'd ever seen 

Under a lake at the edge of the world 

He met a girl, walking through the edges of his dreams 

Because you see, he was a voodoo cowboy 

And he was following a psychedelic stream 

On and on and on, that lonely cowboy 

But a cowboy's never really 

Cowboy's never really deceived, really deceived 

Photos 

So they rode down under the water 

And the sunset made a fire above his head 

In search of warmth, in search of love 

In search of Heaven above 

But all he felt was cold and all he touched was wet 

But he could see her down a little bit deeper 

And all he wanted was to hold her to his chest 

So he reached out and she reached out 

And he touched her and she drew him in 

And kissed him as he breathed his final breath 

Because you see, he was a voodoo cowboy 

And he had finally found a girl to call his own 

On and on and on, lucky lucky cowboy 

Because cowboy's almost always 

Cowboy's almost always die alone, die alone 

They die alone, they die alone
