Watcher on the Threshold

from BAD JUJU by Betty X

/

about

Inspired by a vision of Jack Parsons on a road trip in the desert.

I wrote the song after talking to Al Jourgensen about seeing a Thunderbird aka Watcher in El Paso desert. Is it an ill-fated omen or a bearer of bad news or just a warning?
When driving through El Paso a few years earlier I did see a dark shadowy figure on the side of the road.

lyrics

THE WATCHER ON THE THRESHOLD

The shadows, did you see that?
On the side of the road?
There’s something looking back into your soul.
We’re headed to the wrong side of town.
Don’t know if we can ever turn back Jack.

I get this bad feeling we need to head back to the other side of town, Jack
I think we’re headed to the wrong side of town
I think we need to slow down Jack.


Slow the fuck down Jack
We need to head back
We need to head back to the other side of town
Before we can never head back
This place is wack Jack
Oh, I’m getting a bad feeling
Oh, I’m getting a bad feeling
That something ain’t right
That something ain’t right
I think we need to head the fuck back Jack
Oh, did you see that?
Did you see that Jack?
The shadows
The shadows looking back Jack

There’s an Angel
There’s an Angel and a Devil
A Devil on my shoulders
I don’t know who to listen to
They’re both talking and
I’m so confused
I don’t know where to go
I don’t know where to head
We’re on the Crossroads
We need to head the fuck back Jack
We need to head back Jack
Slow the fuck down Jack
Slow the fuck down Jack….
