lyrics

O Bonnie Charlie, where have you gone? Christ has lit a neon thumb, Hollywood is trying hard to get a hero spitting blood. You broke along bitter skies, dust was kept from your disguise. You hid your face in an old tattoo and I knew that soon mine would be there too. You watch the white moon rising high, burn to see the summer die, but you're a young mind, without the eye and my heart it quivers as you ride by. O Bonnie Charlie the lights are blown, all your men are lying down. Hollywood's still trying hard but there is no hero, spitting blood.
