Lyrics:
In the small hours of morning
Something whispers in my ear
A thousand accusations
No one wants to hear
A laundry list of reasons
To be dissatisfied
You know you’ve got a rider
When you carry this Inside
Hanging in the graveyard
With a tin cup telephone,
Picking out a requiem
From those beneath the stones
I was a fool unguarded
To open up to the unknown
I forgot the warnings(I failed to head)
And i took a rider home
Wash yourself in cold salt water
Burn those candles down
Shed the skin she’s hiding in
Shed the skin and scrape it clean
Cuz that riders gonna ride you round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Cuz that riders gonna ride you round and round
Till you put that rider down
I can see your rider.
Picked up along the way
Don’t know where he’s going
Don’t know how long he’ll stay
Got his own agenda
Got Somewhere to be
Got yourself a rider
Now you won’t take me
(don’t have room for)
You’ve been dancing in the graveyard
Tapping on the stones
In a widows wedding dresses
You bought with stolen bone
You spun away the moment that you thought you were alone
You forgot the blind spot
And you took the rider home
Wash yourself in cold salt water
Burn those candles down
Shed the skin he’s hiding in
Shed the skin and scrape it clean
Cuz that riders gonna ride you round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Cuz that riders gonna ride you round and round
Till you put that rider down
