demo track from upcoming album Murder at the Wheelhouse

lyrics

cross eyed actor
I could hear you thinking from the other room your ticket to mars would be here soon Hollywood never came looking
for a cross eyed actor with a wooden leg made them believe when you hit the stage it was nothing but the truth they were seeing
So you did a dance with the devil just to keep the time bird on your neck to supply the rhyme
couldn’t buy the look on your face as the boat was sinking Nana swung a chicken around her head
ran around awhile before it knew it was dead
kind of like you and me is what I’m thinking
Chorus:The candle flickers the candle burns the candle flickers burns our words
Didn’t want to go but you shoved me this far to believe my words was a little too hard
its never quite the truth that i’m speaking But for a cross eyed actor with a wooden leg made them believe when you died on stage it was all just an act they were seeing
Chorus: The candle flickers the candle burns the candle flickers burns our words
you pulled the trigger on that bird paper for nothing and nothing’s good
it’s good.....it's good....it's good
