lyrics

You showed up standing in my bedroom
in nothing but your underwear
It was the evening of your burial--
I did not expect to see you there
One pale hand in the promised land,
Don’t let the left one know where the right one goes

Just like a hundred thousand maggots
bursting out your brand new crypt
I kept a hundred thousand memories,
maybe most of all the Utah trip
a tablet of LSD in a desert of empathy,
a couple of new cadets just tearing our minds to shreds

There were a hundred thousand werewolves
and I didn’t call my friend, the Moon
Faced with one hundred thousand werewolves,
my only thought to warn you
Bur of course you somehow already knew
New wonders never quit--baby, of course you did

I know I need to see a counselor
I don’t want to bother you with that
I need one hundred thousand werewolves
all packed into a mushroom cap
and to find me a funeral home–one that I can make my own
and do what we love to do: make music to sleepwalk to

I had a dream I was the demon
that got cast into a herd of pigs
If I’m not living in Los Angeles,
am I really making it?
It’s been a minute since I had the panic fits
and I’m not the Buddha yet, but sometimes I think we’ve met

There were a hundred thousand werewolves
in the prime of their disfigurement
but you’re not shaken in the slightest, no,
and I envy your enlightenment
One pale hand in the promised land,
Don’t let the left one know where the right one goes

about

Joshua Powell Indianapolis, Indiana

Joshua Powell is the exhausted wizard at the helm of IN's most haunted rock band. From his hardcore roots in the Floridian swamps and beyond the fever dream of his folk era, his literary lyrics dig for enlightenment in a surrealist muck. “Four LP's and over 900 shows later, the midwestern road dog's ever- evolving, transcendent style embraces hallucinatory metal and grimy psychedelia.” -Audiotree ... more
