Linkous records much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his vision (primarily "one of haunted beauty", wrote Kevin Caulfield [1]) guides Sparklehorse.

Spirit Ditch Lyrics

Sparklehorse

I want my records back
And that motorcycle gas tank
That i, spraypainted black
The owls have been talking to me
But Im sworn to secrecy
I woke up in
A burnt out basement
Sleeping with
Metal hands
In a spirit ditch
The moon it will rise with such
Horse laughter
Its dragging pianos to the ocean
If I had a home
Youd know itd be
In a slide trombone
I woke up in
A burnt out basement
Sleeping with
Metal hands
In a spirit ditch
(mum on answerphone interlude)
I woke up in
A burnt out basement
Sleeping with
Metal hands
In a spirit ditch
