A single taken from Telemachus’ debut LP “In The Evening”. If you buy the dingle, you get a heavy remix from Paul White too. Worth checking out.
INTRO:
- I'm on a higher plateau
- Dry dirt trail on this mountain road
- Vultures over head and I'm counting the Crows
- Alfred Hitchcock cowboy
- Arms folded in a B-Boy pose
VERSE 1:
JEHST
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Off-key behaviour
- Mickey Mouse soldier
- Sand storm fantasia
- High on Peyote
- High on the plains like Wile E Coyote
- The guy with the goatee and kaftan
- Smoking the Afghan
- Blocks of Moroccan hash
- Send me to the Sandman
- ... keen imagery
- Psychedelic symmetry
- God's the composer
- Life is the symphony
- The song of the desert
- Of the desert trail
- Canteen dry
- I'm desperately frail
- Plus thirsty as hell
- Trek against the wind
- Beating on my face
- Sandpaper on my skin
- A gang of masked riders
- Figures rippling on the horizon
- Pitching tents for the night
- Campfire lighting
- Nocturnal
- Got the moonshine pouring
- Back on our journey first thing in the morning
CHORUS:
- I'm on a higher plateau
- Dry dirt trail on this mountain road
- Vultures over head and I'm counting the Crows
- Alfred Hitchcock cowboy
- Arms folded in a B-Boy pose
VERSE 2:
JEHST
- There's black gold underfoot
- Lucrative land
- Bring a bucket and a spade
- Build a castle in the sand
- A child on a beach
- A bite from a peach
- Protect what's mine
- So I might have to reach
- Heat beating down on the brow of the pilgrim
- Announcing that Elvis has now left the building
- Camel back rider
- Saddlebag cider
- Hostile habitat
- Snake bite survivor
- Billycans clattering
- Carying a keg of beer
- Wind beating against the fabric of my jellabiya
- Chest pressed against the unseen forth
- The nomad from the badlands of the north
- The ghost of Jim Morrison guiding my course
- Brave new world and I'm opening the doors of perception
- Tangled up in this spaghetti western
- Desert storm war
- Military intervention
CHORUS:
- I'm on a higher plateau
- Dry dirt trail on this mountain road
- Vultures over head and I'm counting the Crows
- Alfred Hitchcock cowboy
- Arms folded in a B-Boy pose
