i know, i know -- it's *just* words, but I've just not had the time to relax and settle in to recording anything. anyway, let me know if you have any thoughs or feelings re: the hastily compiled crapola below.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

telegraph town

 

julian talked his little self blind

purging his small and weary mind

telling tall tales of sweet louise

the foulest beast of the plains

the grand dame of telegraph town

where the sun stays up and the snow falls down

 

quick robert was a hatchet man

he'd cut you first then devise a plan

julian heard he met his end

on the gallows of St. Martin's Cross

it's the fairest tree in telegraph town

where three go up and only two walk down

 

so come 'cross the boardwalk with me

come splashing in the cold salt sea

a thousand miles from the middle west

where every tale tells of some cruel new test

 

rita sells stockings and platform shoes

and deals daily in bootleg booze

julian said she lost 'bout all her luck

and went missing in the blackthorn woods

she'll never more set foot in telegraph town

where the sun stays up and the snow falls down

 

so come 'cross the boardwalk with me

come splashing in the cold salt sea

a thousand miles from the middle west

where every tale tells of some cruel new test
