Llewd did I live & evil I did dwell (Keep it Upright)

Skirmish: Behold! (@jlampson) Challenge: PALINDROME

Liner Notes

Lyrics are a little up in the air. Sorta started from the Behold! skirmish as well as the palindrome prompt. The main character of this song is either me or capitalism. #rock #firsttakes #nometronome #improvisation #indierock #guitar

Lyrics

you'd hope I'd know by now we've been inviting these ghosts around you'd hope I'd know by now it's an outbound, get down, don't hurt yourself

most of them come back dodging arrows mostly they don't come back (they've now turned gray) the ones that do come back, they're never the same again (wearing different clothes than when) most of them don't come back (they go round and around and back out again)

kinda like their middle kinda like their middle was left behind where does it go?

try to keep it upright try to get it up by then try to get em upright soon they'll be better left behind

last time I looked outside he was still thrashing up the road I wouldn't say we're friends, we get along He says sometimes he thinks he's dying, there's this lullaby... "It slips my mind, but like..."

keep him upright get him off the road they should be gone by then I hope some of us are better left behind but not too near the road sign maybe somewhere near the coastline man, he's been in there a long time

ba ba ba ba la la la la la
