verse

It's in the evening
and everything's all right
Pistol-packin' mama, don't you tell me dirty lies
for I'll be sleeping
underground tonight
and the starlight and the moon will shine without my oversight...

chorus

Wasting away, spilling time from a bottle
Keeping one hand up on the wheel and one hand on the throttle
Wasting the day, spilling time from a bottle
Watching all of our dreams like the stars going out one by one.

verse

I've got no time now
for things I can't abide
and trying to escape yourself requires a long long ride
so grab a barstool
to keep yourself afloat
If the weather in my head gets out, you'll need your overcoat

playout (sung somewhat incoherently)

when time comes around and I go back to ground
will it be that there still is something left for me
will you look my way at the end of the day
was there anything more I could be

History

  • ~2008-2009: words originally written (with music in my head), on some piece of paper somewhere, possibly in a notebook I currently can't find. I think there were more words than I was able to remember when I typed this in. When I find it, that will help pin down the date.
  • 2013-02-09 recorded demo backing tracks and am waiting for the house to be quiet so I can do the vocals
  • 2013-05-26 Some vocals recorded; not 100% happy with them, and I need to add more, but it may be enough for a demo mix soon. Also added acoustic guitar, which could also be better.
