lyrics

Downwards Daze

There's a place that's not far from my heart
That keeps dragging me home
To rooms full of magic and mirrors and rivers of gold
There's a girl that's sitting in wait
To hear if you're worth what you say
About living and dying and wandering through Kerouac dreams

Let the young bleed their courage
Unbroken be their shallow bones
Down below 'neath the clutter of knives where the mad ones explode
The carnival ain't lost it's charm
Beat the drum to the youth running wild

Stuck in a downwards daze
Lost in the clouds fading away
Out of your head there ain't no escape
Free your chains from those desolate fools
In your subterranean blues

To that boy who's all lost in style
and the girl with the far away eyes

Stuck in a downwards daze
Lost in the clouds fading away
Out of your head there ain't no escape
Stuck in a downwards daze

Yeah, those girls who hung til the dawn
With the boys who couldn't hold on

What a tune! Once again Black Mountain find a killer groove in the same vein as 'Druganaut' (Extended Remix), 'Thirteen Walls', 'Mothers Of The Sun' - kudos to the drummer, shades of Buddy Miles. Why was this not on 'Destroyer'! The Socialist Birder

I have been following this guy's albums for several years. He's a bit of a chameleon, but well-worth the effort! For fans of 70's folk-rock, but also psychedelic rock. Gratefulshrink
