lyrics

taillights fading, santa fe dust
corroding what you promised us
some tobacco woman's burning up the fuel of my name
over bronze flood plains

in the pressure and steam of hollow dreams
your love came apart at the seams
over highways of sweat to raven’s nests
engines of change, darkening rain

but my yukon soul built a sauna on the creek
a place of heat
and when I finally fell down at your feet
I fell in defeat, fell in defeat

codetalker, when you’re talking, you’re the only one you’re dodging
smoke signals you send I will intercept
you have the language, so fluent
so start the fire without the flint

and see those radio receivers, repeating over trees
it’s so easy to lose their frequency
hauling out from your harbour on the dark cold sea
tasting the sweat from our last intrigue

but my yukon soul built a sauna on the creek
a place of heat
and when I finally fell down at your feet
I fell in defeat, fell in defeat

when I long, I long a long time
far along the railroads of rhyme
well the oracle never lies, it just wasn’t the time
kneeling naked at your altar, asking for a sign

hide behind your hymns, sing them soft to him
poison love you fought to win and imitate the scorpion
I’m worth the price you’d have to pay
to feel what you anticipate

well my yukon soul built a sauna on the creek
a place of heat
and when I finally fell down at your feet
I fell in defeat, fell in defeat

My yukon soul.
My yukon soul built a sauna on the creek.
My yukon soul.
My yukon soul.
