about

A visit from the muse lights the fire in our song writing stove where we cook up all this tasty stuff.

lyrics

I've been looking for my muse, digging around for something I can use.
I was left waiting on the line so I carved out myself a little piece of mind.

I watch the people walk up and down my street while the sun drops her clues down at my feet.
I grew my self a little ache and a pain.
I just stood there watching as Able got killed by Cain.

You move me, you are the muse for me x2

I came up empty a little too soon so I drowned all my sorrow in the light of the moon.
Peel off the label a little piece at a time.
What didn't fit in the suitcase we just left behind.

I found some silver in the bottom of the drawer.
Were there some there might be more.
I can feel my luck about to change.
Pull the trigger, turn the page.

chorus

I've got a long way to go so I'm leaving tonight.
A dollar in my pocket and my hat down tight.
You will look for me but I'll be gone.
Nothing left behind but this sad, sad song.
I've got a hole working through the bottom of my shoe.
Deep in my pocket there's a picture of you.
Like an old record stuck in one place.
Then a push and a shove and we're moving with grace.

chorus
