A ripping indie alt-bluegrass tune with a smoking guitar solo, choo choo train drums, and vocals somewhere between Modest Mouse and Calexico
lyrics
I took my time finding a place I could call my home
I took my time wasting all that I own
I settled softly at the bottom of an ocean of bliss
I settled softly as the chemicals took hold and gave my heart to sweet
tenderness
CHORUS:
I like this life just fine
The pretty girls and wine sure help me pass the time
But tell my dear old mother not to pray for me
For I am dead beyond all reckoning and she can't save me
I worked long and hard, but in the end had nothing to show
And just like that, the inspiration was gone, and I found myself all alone
I worked long and hard, and all I built was this big mess
And as the world crumbles to the ground, I surrender to this sweet tenderness
[CHORUS]
Though the sun shines in on me
All I see is dust settling
And though the rain pours down on me
I don't feel the least bit clean
[VERSE 1]
[CHORUS]
