- Shadow -
"Why do you ride that crazy horse?"
Inquires the shadow with little remorse
Just then a priest comes down the stairs
With a sack of dreams and old nightmares

- Rider -
"Who are you," the rider says
"You dress in black but you talk like a Fed
You spout ideas from books that you read
Don't you care about this guy's head?"

Just then the sound of hoofbeats was heard
And the sky was darkened by a prehistoric bird
Who flew between the unfulfilled moon
And the naked rider, to a telephone booth.

- Bird 1 -
"We'll call the moon and see what's up
I've got some change in this little tin cup
We'll say that the shadow is growin' dim
And we need some light to get back to him

F/DJust one call should G/Ddo it all
B/DI'll carve this number on the wallC/D   
With my Dbeak."

D*Flying feathers were Fall around
C*The air was G6/Bfilled with a g6/Bbringy soundD 
*Two more birds the Fsecond and the third
C*Came down from the G6/Bbsky to deliver the word D 

- Birds 2 and 3 -

D"Where have you been," they Fsaid to the first
C"Get back to the G6/Bclouds, we're g6/Bbdying of thirstD 
There's not enough time to Fmake that call
CLet's ditch this G6/Brider, g6/Bbshadow and all."D

The sky was filled with the beautiful birds
Still on the ground some crying was heard
With his dime in his hand and his hand on the dial
His cars were sweating as he forced a smile

Hoofbeats beating across the range
He rode through the night with his cup of change
Tired and beaten he fell into slumber
But up in the sky they still had his number

DUp and down the old Fhomestead
CThe naked G6/Brider galg6/Bblops through his headD 
And although the mooFn isn't full
CHe still G6/Bfeels the pullg6/Bb      
Still feels the pullF/D   
Still feels the pullG/D   
Still feels the pullB/D    
Still feels the pullC/D      D
