lyrics

If you go chasing some shadow at night
And you're reeling
Best just remember the winds in November
Blow cold
You fell down the stairs and you're lying there
Starin' at the ceiling
You try to go on but something is wrong
With your head

Day is passing
(What shall we do with the night)
Shadow's laughing
(A renegade looks for a fight)
Father's sleeping
(A mad dog stands ready to bite)
Mother's weeping

You ran out of Rascals last night
Cause you can't take the feeling
You can't beat the devil
If you don't know the rules of the game
They broke in last night and stole everything
While you were dreaming
But you reckon it's nothing
A bottle of whiskey won't solve

Day is passing
(What shall we do with the night)
Shadow's laughing
(A renegade looks for a fight)
Father's sleeping
(A mad dog stands ready to bite)
Mother's weeping

Stand in the park
Watching, waiting
Constantly gazing
Concealed in the dark

One look around
Cutting, smashing
Renegade slashing
Can you hear the sound of the screams

It's bringing you down to your knees
But nothing is quite what it seems
And you can stand up if you please
Cause it's only a dream

I'll lure that shadow right out of his hole
And I'll fight him
That son of a bitch has reckoning coming
I swear
I'll smash through the door and I'll reach down the hole
And I'll smite him
If the bastard's too chicken to come out
And put up a fight

Day is passing
(What shall we do with the night)
Shadow's laughing
(A renegade looks for a fight)
Father's sleeping
(A mad dog stands ready to bite)
Mother's weeping

Alien Language Fort Worth, Texas

An unknown man from an unknown land, lost in time, speaks a language that channels the power of the cosmos. His musical expressions have encompassed all places, periods, and genres. He has always been there. Everywhere. And he will remain until the mountains vanish, the oceans recede to a drop, and mankind is long gone. Then with a bellowing voice, akin to laughter, he will return.....home... ... more
