Artist picture
Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root
WHERE SAVAGES ROAM I'm threatened by the safety net and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world I tremble when the earth is calm and sleep under the rubble like a frightened feral animal Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam Where the savages roam Aah, aah, aah ... The harshest winter yet All the horses have run crazy God has killed the internet The final course has been taken No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Aah, aah, aah ...

Lyrics
GOT TO TRY I was on the road to Paris Texas in my pickup haulin' ass Ten pounds of grass When my rusted tank ran dry as a bone As the county I was stranded in On the lonesome trail My blind luck never fails But it's got to try Kindness of a stranger Invitation to the danger I might face by and by Was more than I could flat refuse If I didn't need a favor more than saving grace I'd've never made that trade I had to cry One pound for a gallon It was highway robbery on a gravel road I bargained hard But that gun and broad smile wore me down Was the nearest fillin' station forty miles away? Might need three gallons, then I shed three pounds Back behind the wheel I started thinkin' 'bout the fate I was headed for What lay in store On my horizon, a charcoal storm At the fillin' station, I had my epiphany Winner I'll never be Yet I've got to try
