This one is a bit of a folk-prog mashup, and takes an almost gypsy-like melodic turn with some heavy electric guitar.

lyrics

Man with brain is trapped in a rude mood
No smelling salts around to come to
I'm tapping the bell but I don't hear it ring
And my sirens quit the band 'cause they can't sing

The violent rhythm is silent, but it's rich
Hit the __ on my downbeat, if you wish
Put me in your pocket, take me anywhere
I'm thumbing both directions, I don't care

I rolled up the straight and narrow in a Zig-Zag
Lit it with my breath, and took it all in one drag
The sunrise and sunset are both in view
But there's not a single thing I want to do

The violent rhythm is silent, but it's rich
Hit the __ on my downbeat, if you wish
Put me in your pocket, take me anywhere
I'm thumbing both directions, I don't care

The gun was fired, but the primer was dead
Others in the rat race are pulling ahead
My shoes aren't tied and I'm laying in bed,
I'm going down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Sparks flying out of my dynamo
But no point trying if it's just for show
If I win will you let me go?
Please don't tell me no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

about

J.W. Morris Denver, Colorado

Welcome to my BandCamp! If you're interested in me, I'm interested in you. I don't have a hometown, or a street I grew up on. I was born in Chicago, grew up throughout the Deep South, joined the Navy at seventeen, serving 2 stints, and have done a bit of drifting ever since. This is a collection of some of my self-produced, homespun, original music. Thanks for stopping by! ... more
