Lyrics:
Continental, make a better man of me.
You sold the words, put us in herds
But that'll never set us free.
My dreams, collecting dust, break down
Like the faith I never found.
And you never helped me up, but you always let me down.
We're supposed to delight in your will
While you're stalking your prey,
Some sort of spit-shine salvation
That'll never see the light of day.
Some friends went to jail,
Some finally came clean
But you slept in sandcastles
And woke up in between.
And clarity came in the spring
With salvation waiting in the wings
Guesswork and 80 miles
You sought sainthood in the ceiling tiles
While the messenger was shooting up downstairs!
But who cares what they said?
You contemplated being dead but decided against it
After hard drugs and religion.
An aluminum empire that you built with both hands,
An upside-down cross and a line in the sand,
And I still haven't written the rest of the words.
I don't own this song.
The lyrics in the description are made by me.
Write in the comments which Song you want to have next!
It's always nice when I discover a new song by him that I'd never heard before :)
Right!?
Maybe he eventually wrote the rest of the words. Maybe someday somebody will find them in a shoebox.
R.I.P. so many awesome songs.
I love the picture with the dog and the albums.
Fuck I just discoverd this, fuck...
This is actually a mancub song. another great musician lost too early
Rip see ya in hell Eric.. Let me down again
does anyone know the chords for this masterpiece?
sgt pepper You can find em on Ultimate Guitar but it's E A B for the intro, E B C#m A B for the verse, E (look up the tab on UG for the fiddly bit he does) A B for the 'we're supposed to delight in your will while you're stalking your prey' bit, E B A B for 'some sort of spit shine salvation that'll never see the light of day', E A B for the interlude, C#m A E B for 'some friends went to jail...', A B A B for 'and clarity came in the spring...', E B C#m A B for 'guesswork and 80 miles...', C#m A E B A B for the last line.
Sorry if that was too messy to follow, hope it helped you or anyone else reading this!
