This is an alternate, solo guitar and vocals take of the song “Dusted” from 1993’s Vampire on Titus. This version of the song was also considered for an early version of Bee Thousand.
Comes the sign of wasted times
I will wait no more
Ever trudging through the aimless
Forests we explore
In our boots and money chains
Misfitting cloaks we can't contain
Hidden hates of urgency
Declaring our emergency
And up the tallest window world
The distance was not clear
Unoccupied my brutish thoughts
We had no cause to fear
A lesson so severe
Hotter than the fire we built
Darker than the truth
Ignorance reflected in
The windows of our youth
Push me now beyond the bounds
Of healing hands and thorny crowns
And all the sadness it implies
I've tasted with my own two eyes
And as the cattle rack was cleared
The floor was brightly stained
And larger though we grew in size
Not a thing was gained
The fate as so ordained
Dusted (Different Version) was written by Robert Pollard.
Dusted (Different Version) was produced by Mike Hummel & Tobin Sprout.
