Living And The Dead by David Dondero
Living And The Dead lyrics
chose an easy rhyme
to fill these moments of your time
I try to keep between the line
looking forward and behind
i studied highway archiology
Poetry and rhythym
tapping in the forniac this moment of expression
it's evolving and disolving
connecting and exploding
building up and then erroding
it's the end and I keep flowing
I played a skinny, indie white boy blues in a scuffed
up military style shoes
I'm convenient store conasuer
On a broken shoestring budget tour
Flap or float, just barley float
Sing it fast and now get them all
no one knows success
Soon forgotten, put to rest
I crossed this country million times
Trillion roads
Gazillion signs
A re-enactment is this life
These words are just a bite from all those heroes that
I heard
Just paraphrasing words
To leave behind a song,
A re-enactment of a song
Hey I'm in love with this living and the dead
Hey i'm in love with the living and the dead
I'm in love with a lover whose dead
I've seen some highs and lows
I've seen those
And you know he doesn't
not a single person goes
Driven fourteen hours
Just to play into the sound
guy's he's reading his book
We've got to suck it up and try
Some bartender's playing on that megatouch machine
Ear on fingernails and tapping on that screen
And it's a cold bleak night
as the poles bleeding light
Detroits abandoned
no casinos in my sight
Got to kill my time
I'm a ghost out on these streets
I'll be sleeping in my truck tonight
not sleeping in your ice cold sheets
Got a scrambled heart, just a little over cooked
Got another, full of wishes missing from your book
There's no insurance in this life
No protaction from the night
Too many rules and no direction
You walk under a knife
It's just these temporalities
Created fleating moments
If your lacking in permament
You better make it potent *cough*
Hey i'm in love with this living and the dead
Hey i'm in love with the living and the dead
Hey i'm in love with the living and the dead
Hey i'm in love with the living and the dead
living and the dead i'm in love with a lover whose dead
living and the dead i'm in love with a lover whose dead
