about

We've finally stopped apologizing for this one. Let the accusations fly. It just feels good to play. Who can deny the vaporous feeling that the great revelations of our youth are strangely inaccessible to us as we get older? For guitar enthusiasts, I played a 12-string electric guitar through an octa-fuzz and a wah-wah pedal. This is the only song of ours that Tom Petty should probably cover. - Brad Barr

lyrics

---Lyrics---

Did you come here for an ambush?
Did you come here for the truth?
Did you come here to tighten it down
Or to turn it loose?

I'm running out of reasons
For keeping it neat
Running out of ground
Beneath my feet

Darling I'm not
Saying that you are not
The best thing I've got
And that's saying a lot

I can still feel the hole
Where the revelation nailed me to the wall
Now I can't recall
If there was any revelation there at all
Or just some kids getting high about it all

There's nothing easy about it
Don't know which way I should run
Maybe go to Mississippi
Get a ride to Gunnisson
Wanna remember how we did it
The first a thousand times
Wanna be a thousand people
Living a thousand different lives

I can still feel the hole
Where the revelation nailed me to the wall
Now I can't recall
If there was any revelation there at all
Or just some kids getting high about it all

Bury us
In the delirious
Hideous glorious
Alright
