Recorded Summer 2005

lyrics

A lovely night is ending
I shot my guns and now they'll drag me under
The rules aren't made for bending
It's like they're written in the Book of Numbers
You think the rules are changing
I think it's always just the same old story
All the old and the strange things
Shift the honor and the power and the glory

And it's a good blue morning
The winds are bitter coming off the water
Whistling through the awning
Sometimes I wonder how you even bother
Trying to find your old friend
When all the kids they wanna grow in such a hurry
Some sell out their best friend
For just a trickle of the power and the glory

You've been standing
Cast in shadows
I've been waiting in the middle
You'll be waiting for redemption
I'll be licking stained glass windows

I've been wired and wasted
I eat my honey while hanging from the rafters
I've been tried and tasted
I break my bread with such malicious bastards
Through each and every impasse
We'll say it's just another chapter in the story
Of the boys who lick glass
To touch the Honor and the Power and the Glory
