"Runaway"

I just spent the last 3 hours working on a new song. It's called "Runaway"... I call it "new"...actually the words have been around since 1997 and the music is just something I've had laying around for a few years that I never got around to writing lyrics for. They merge together nicely, words making up for any deficiancy in guitar playing and vice versa. Yes, that's right. This is not one of my typically absurdist Bambo Syndicate projects. Just yours truly playing a very rudimentary guitar mixed in with a slew of vocal tracks. I've done some preliminary mixing and it's shaping up to really sound good, if I may say so myself.

Though I'm not sure how well the lyrics will hold up without the music, I am nevertheless still going to post them here. On "Chromosome 11", too.

"Runaway"

Throughout my life
A few things I have found
There are some who'll lift you up
There are some who'll drag you down
There are some who'll make you wonder
What you're still doing in this town
And they're never satisfied
Until they see you in the ground

And they're never satisfied with anything they see in the mirror
And they always wonder why they have to sleep alone
And they're never pacified, no matter what you give 'em
Just like runaways that are never going home

It's easy to sleep and hide
Hide under sheets all night
In Dreams you forget
What you've been shown in the Light
Crosses burning to the left
Hanging tree to the right
They're selling their souls
To the darkness
To the darkness of the white

And they're never satisfied with anything they see in the mirror
And they always wonder why they have to sleep alone
And they're never pacified, no matter what you give 'em
Just like runaways that are never going home
