Secret of the Crossroads Devil

I have seen the northern lights

Looked out my window at just the right time

I'd been waiting for a sign

When green and golden they filled the night sky

Now this vision it was mine

But which direction? So much to ponder

I would take a little time

I've waited this long, why not longer?

And the nights are getting colder

Could this touch of gray really mean I'm getting this much older?

Coyote's getting bolder, laughing right outside the door

But if you want to see the northern lights

You gotta lift up your head and

If you want to have some kind of life

Decide you're not better off dead and

If you want to read the mystic story written in your future

You better start to write it now

You better start to write it now

Who can tell the truth from lies?

What's a life without examination?

Afraid to scan the midnight skies

I'd keep my head down, wait for confirmation

And the nights have gotten colder

And yeah this touch of gray really means I've gotten this much older

Coyote's gotten bolder, stealing stuff right out the door

But if you want to see the northern lights

You gotta lift up your head and

If you want to have some kind of life

Decide you're not better off dead and

If you want to read the mystic story written in your future

You better start to write it now

You better start to write it now

I met the devil in a field

I said, "Oh finally, did you bring my contract?"

And the secret he revealed

Was that he waits for no one and he's never made a single deal

Meanwhile the nights have gotten cold

And yeah that shock of gray means, man, you're really getting old

Coyote's got so bold, you know he's sleeping on your floor

But if you want to see the northern lights

You gotta lift up your head and

If you want to have some kind of life

Decide you're not better off dead and

If you want to read the mystic story written in your future
