On a crumbling road
I left the Blue Rose Apartments
and I've been up all night
oh restless spirit ride
There I meet her face
there I meet the keeper
of the sacred place
hidden out on the plain

We're riding out to the ever after
though there may be trouble all around
leave this unrest all far behind
truth be our lantern through the night

California
a purple light surrounds her
and on the streets they walk
assuming all that they see
Artificial light
flickers in every window
'til they see her face
masked in mystery

We're riding out to the ever after
though there may be trouble all around
leave this unrest all far behind
truth be our lantern through the night

leave this unrest all far behind
truth be our lantern through the night
