lyrics

When I found myself home,
I opened my arms to the gift and the giver,
but the air wasn't the same,
the streets were a maze and the town unfamiliar,
So I slept on the edge of the bed,
a precipice set on the plot line of dreaming,
and I kept my spirit in check,
while my thoughts were a wreck and in need of redeeming

It doesn't matter that I've run out of money
or the economy's shot to hell,
It doesn't matter that the president's hammering
on the crack in the Liberty Bell,
It doesn't matter that strangers are moving
into your neighborhood,
It doesn't matter that people are evil,
'cause God is good

But when God opened my mind
to glorious views of his natural appearance,
then I ran out of words
and was reassured that all along he could hear us
His feet, a furnace of bronze,
his tongue was a sword and his voice was the thunder
His palms were littered with stars, his eyes were the suns,
and I ran out of words. I ran out of words

It doesn't matter that I've run out of money
or the economy's shot to hell,
It doesn't matter that the president's hammering
on the crack in the Liberty Bell,
It doesn't matter that strangers are moving
into your neighborhood,
It doesn't matter that people are evil,
'cause God is good
God is good, God is good,
God is infinite and wonderful and God is good

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
