“‘Dolores’ is a song inspired by the woman pictured above. Her name is Dolores Costello. She was an actress in the silent era and was Drew Barrymore’s grandmother. I was moved by her beautiful sad face and it’s pretty much as simple as that. I recorded this song with Dean Nelson who worked as Beck’s...
Dolores Lyrics
[Hook: Marnie Herald]
All the world was black and white
Just a sound stage
From the back projecting light
God is of the silent age
I can see you crying even though I don't hear nothing
You will laugh behind the scenes if I had my choice
Guard us all from the silver screen in your God given voice
I can see you're trying on every frame to tell me something
[Verse I: Buck 65]
Sad eyes misleading advice
Fear not I'll protect you from the bad guys
Snake charmers, gadflies, rows of crows
You're not suppose to know
Overhead blows nose
Toe to toe comes the time goes to prose
Front row certain closes on the show of shows
Time will tell, truth prevails
It's a battle to the finish
Fighting tooth and nail
[Hook: Marnie Herald]
[Verse II: Buck 65]
New heights, blue nights
Catching glimpses of the moonlight
Fresh start paint the walls of the room white
Do Right
See now you're fighting, whose fight?
Clever minds, never say never cause you might
New man, loose cannon but my screws tight
Next style, open X-File
Excommunicated, hearts in exile
Jewelry and textile
Sexy and reckless
Death wish, out of time and breathless
Wet dreams[?], ripped frames[?]
Sunday mornings strictly listening to Skip James
Dirt roads, brick lanes
Car crash, tree falls
About pride, outside these walls
Recall, first sight fell hard
Held cards under the bell jar
