lyrics

My folks say keep tradition alive
Don't let your grandmama die
Live in the house that guilt has built
Try not to cry as mother's milk gets spilt
And if it's true what they say
That our children will melt away
Will I have thrown my past and future away
Will all I'll be left with is today

You asked me once
Why I can't stop writing songs
I guess this is why
I guess it's just that I had trouble movin on

We're born on a righteous path
Raised to live in fear
We grow old worrying about the past
And then we die and disappear
And every year we gather outside
To watch the moon make the sun hide
And though that sun's so far from earth
I empathize with its rebirth

You asked me once
Why I can't stop writing songs
I guess this is why
I guess it's just that I had trouble movin on

In order to be a writer
William Burroughs had to kill his wife
Now I ain't sayin that kinda thing is right
But all great men had somethin taken from their life

You asked me once
Why I can't stop writing songs
I guess this is why
I guess it's just that I had trouble movin on
