about

written, produced by karl remus

lyrics

Slip into twilight
While the sun’s getting low
Over the skyline
In a heavenly glow
Under the shade of a palm frond
where the roots are exposed
Come back down
and summon me home

I’m still a shy guy
Like a ghost in a sheet
Cut with two eye holes
And a smile underneath
Carry a rose like a wallflower
a thorn in the wreath
Rise back up and turn the other cheek

all in a days work, it pays off
Digging a grave in permafrost
Minimum wage but at what cost
To wither away and carry on

Up in the echelon where chariots flew
high ultra violet & aquarian blue
I’m out of phase with the hologram
I thought to be true
Running away from the hourglass
and counting by twos
sun went down
and you flew the coop

I could never go back down that road again
Gotta keep it on track in the blowing wind
boy the summer went fast (yeah of course it did)
I couldn’t sleep with rust in my eyes
as the band was playing
