lyrics

I’m in the game in the thick of the weeds & I do not know where I’m going to be
In the end. In my dreams it comes down so much faster
Than in the books, but in the streets they all know
They know & they know how it’s going to go

& it goes, round again & it comes to where it ends
So it goes round again, in the World as in the heavens

But in my dreams it comes down so much faster
Than in the books, but in the streets there is blood
& there’s booze & there’s bums & there’s suits & ambulances & the boys in blue
There’s junkies in McDonald’s trying to catch the news
& there’s crowds of me & crowds of you and I know
I know & I know how it’s going to go

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
