about

Recorded 9/09/2015 at The Glow Recording Studio, Athens, GA.

lyrics

I've been barking at shadows

like a rabid dog

and I could top the undertaker

for a dead end job

I know it's not a new story,

so stop me if you've heard it before

crossword puzzles and a rattlin cough

well i drink robitussin and play putt putt golf

and when i call for you darling

don't leave me crying out by the door

when the work isn't worth it

you gotta leave it behind

yr either at the mercy of a moody universe

or being governed by a quirk of the mind

I've been filing my teeth down

till the points are sharp

I'm like the only lonely animal

on noah's ark

It's hard to be gracious

when yr harboring hatred

and living with a larcenous heart

now they've slaughtered the calf

to prepare for the feast

there's blood in the air

and a flood in the streets

it's the mark of the beast,

it's the dark in the east in the dawn
