The Fires Alight

[thetworegs]

Don't ask me where this one came from its a tad darkm .........

Operator number please

I close my eyes every night and I dream I have a hold of you
You take me in hand with your crooked wand 
And Make me feel so blue
The night gets dark and starts to bleed it's emotion over me
My tear awake the devil inside and he makes a fool of me, makes a fool of me

The nighthawks at the dinner table crucify my mind
They tear up all my thought  in pieces
causing the morrow to be unkind
Poetry and prose does not sooth this un-contented mind
I'm on fire I need water but whiskey is on my mind, whiskey on my mind whiskey on my mind

Break

Down on the street where the worlds gone bad
the pavements cold and life is a drag
I lie in my cardboard bed awake
dreaming of you home and safe

How life's unfairness laughs in my face
As I'm the one walking the streets in disgrace

I close my eyes every night and I dream I have a hold of you
You take me in hand with your crooked wand 
And Make me feel so blue, so very blue

The cold cold ground waits for the wicked thoughts running around my mind 
Swimming sleeping rushing weeping nothing but the Mal-alined
The clock has stopped and time has gone theres not even the slightest tick
The blanket of the dark reaches my eyes but still I can not sleep
The fires alight
The fires alight
The fires alight
The fires alight

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

This sounds great Trevor. I like the different vocal on this, deeper, darker. Great guitar melodies and riffs intertwined throughout. Catchy beat and great lyrics, I always like the lyrics you come up with.
I'm getting a bit of thin lizzy too. darren

funny thing is that is real for too many... good stuff Trev...good stuff...  love the wah wah lead too.... and that rhyth gitr....dundundun.... great ./...fits the vox

[Ferryman_1957]

Nice to hear a more developed track Trev, the groove is really helped by having some drums to drive it along. The guitar work is great, love the wah and the heavy chords, they add a nice extra dimension to this. Great vocals as always, you really sound raw on this one (fits the lyrics). Nice ending as well!
