The Mysterious Disappearance of Etta Place

[Spoken Intro: Clay Gibbons]

I will not pick flowers for you

For I choose not to kill

But instead I’ll take your hand

And show you a pair of wild daisies in full bloom

Never before seen by human eyes

They stand unaware of our presence

Not knowing that our minds are like leeches clinging to their soft, innocent petals

They stand naked in all their glory

Branching from the same stem

Stretching for the sun as it dries the tears from their face

We will go now, leaving them undisturbed

And stop when the sun calls us

Then we too will be naked

And leaving each other all that we are

I will be of you as you will be of me

I will be of you as you will be of me

And then the sun will always be one

[Verse 1]

Down dusty roads and red hills on the rise

With rifles cocked, bandanas on their eyes

A pair of thieves came riding in the dark

And they both went down with bullets in the heart

[Verse 2]

And so, we're told, one left a girl behind

I knew I had to disappear that night

I swear to you, I rode the speed of light

With my ice-cold tears and one thing on my mind

[Chorus]

Where'd you go?

Where'd you go

When you die? I don't know

Whether heaven or hell takes us home

Where you go

Where you go

When you die? I don't know

I just know we all go out alone

But the devil can't touch my gold

[Post-Chorus]

I just know we all go out alone

But the devil can't touch my gold

Yeah

(And then the sun will always be one)

[Verse 3]

The moon will rise, the sun will dance away

I dug an empty grave and wrote my name

You never do go back from where you came

When you've lived a life of fire and of rain

[Chorus]

Where'd you go?

Where'd you go

When you die? I don't know

Whether heaven or hell takes us home

Where you go

Where you go

When you die? I don't know

I just know we all go out alone

But the devil can't touch my gold, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

I just know we all go out alone (Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

But the devil can't touch my gold, no, no, no

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, I just know we all go out alone

But the devil can't touch my gold

[Spoken Outro: Clay Gibbons]

I will be of you as you will be of me

And we will be me as we will be you

All that we are is that which we give of ourselves to each other

And then the sun will always be one
