about

This was supposed to be a country-style walk of loneliness. Then I put the capo on the 4th fret and ruined everything.

To be fair, though, that wasn't what ruined this. I just didn't come up with a melody when I recorded the vocals. Not the worst song on the album.

lyrics

down the road we hold our hands
walking into the magic lands
the red sky opens and falls in deep
an excellent mirage, God I need sleep

the road is rough, the hills are high
I'm not gonna make it unless I die
with no one with me, not even you
the roads be bloody, thick and through

just doing what they're telling me
newspapers and market adultery
it's not like I mind much
it means not too much to me
but I still think it would be nice for you to be here and see
what the world looks like in the eyes of the dead
houses caved in, with the deflated beds
country smoke in a party balloon

cry I may but fight I must
when the pinwheel spins faster than the dust
it's a lonely night for me
but how about you, no, I'll leave you be

I'm not too religious myself
I don't have a Testament on my shelf
however, I swear, I ran God's track
I walked my way to Hell and back

holes in the sides of structures and sidewalks
pink mistresses, crawling through, they stalk
I'm a dick, but I have honor for the ones I love
let the high whores bleed away, pale and white like a coked-up dove

(I'm nothing without you
you're everything without me)
