Dedicated to the memory of Mark Sandman – bassist and singer for the self-described low-rock/fuck rock band Morphine – Whom Chris Ballew was dear friends with.
Well I knew a gifted man
Stayed 16 all his days
A dry and dark romantic who vanished in the haze
And he stood all tall and saintly
With his perry mason poems
And his customized spirit
Chuckling sly and quiet mumblings
And we all leaned in to listen, to the, solid gold instructions
Then he got up from the party
And left us all alone without his song
And it did not work out for us just like we planned
So I'm gone
And it did not work out for us just like we planned
Gone again gone
Gone again gone
There was a preacher with a weakness
Lurking late at night
He found an evil congregation
Squinting in the moon light
And all those people hearted sinners, had lined up for the winnings
And the devil dangled every evil deed he ever tempted
And a train made of promises
Came rumbling to the station
While conductors offered solid gold, and whistled for the sinners to get on
They had to get on
And it did not work out for us just like we planned
So I'm gone
And it did not work out for us just like we planned
So I'm gone
And it did not work out for us just like we planned
Gone again gone
Gone again gone
(Gone again gone)
