Song lyrics are as follows..

Far From Any Road by The Handsome Family

From the dusty mason
Her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
She twines her spines up slowly
Towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin
My fingers ran with blood

In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom
And strange hands halted me, the looming shadows danced
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt the trembling hands

When the last light warms the rocks
And the rattlesnakes unfold
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones

And rise with me forever
Across the silent sand
And the stars will be your eyes
And the wind will be my hands

A conversation with the Handsome Family, the band behind the 'True Detective' theme song, 'Far From Any Road'

"Specifically for "Far From Any Road," what was going through your mind when you wrote that song, both lyrically and musically?"

Rennie: I saw some Jimson weed and it's a plant that only blooms at night and you can see these huge white flowers and there are these moths that feed on them just at night so it's like a secret night time blooming and romance. Jimson weed actually goes back to Jamestown and there's a story of it driving people insane because it's psychedelic and because it gets into people's water all the time. So it's about these moths and this sexy, forbidden ritual they have in the darkness.

Brett: The vernacular here is that it's "loco weed." So the song is basically about psychedelic plants and love and dark love.

Rennie: And also the poisonous plants that you can't get really close to. I found that really interesting.
