Well I saw him walking slowly 'cross the desert
The apparition flickered like a flame
The rattlesnakes shook in the dust and scrawny grass
Surrounding as the stranger came upon me in the strange
Well he stepped into my shed beneath the shadows
He hunkered down and he squinted 'til he could see
And the particles and the motes of dust against the sunlight
Sparkled like his guns
And his blue bombardier eyes fixed on me
The same eyes that made that jawbone speak
Oh in a red rose field, a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice, gunslingin' man
Oh in a red rose field, a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice, gunslingin' man
Well he sat with it and long did they palaver
Of a tower dark and a man with many names
And so we set off towards the western sea
For so the truth did go beneath the mountains on a train
Oh, it was a slow mutant train
And I saw their eyes and blasts of yellow wonder
Quick as bullets followed wicked screams
And in the dark, I fell and watched the distance growing in between us
And I said, "Gunslinger, there are other worlds than these!
Oh, you'll see! There are other worlds than these!"
Oh, in a red rose field, a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice, gunslingin' man
Oh be your fate tomorrow, sure as you can
Oh, there is no more peace to follow, gunslingin' man
Oh, in a red rose field, a dark tower stands
Oh, there is no more peace to follow, gunslingin' man
Oh, in a red rose field, a dark tower stands
Oh, there must be a sacrifice, gunslingin' man
