lyrics

this storm is gonna rip you in half
the gods will make you feel their wrath

this pimp is gonna shake you down
and then give you the run around

this corner's gonna tell you the truth
even if you think you're bulletproof

the night is gonna eat you alive
buzzin like a bee that's protecting the hive

you introduce your arm to the syringe
down in the alley for your late night binge

no one can see you here anymore
nobody left to mind the store

your parents mourned your loss a long time ago
or maybe their expectations hit a plateau

hope springs eternal when roses are in bloom
then the weather changes, it's all gloom and doom

remember when you was 4 years old
running through the garden hose
everyone laughing and smiling
the sun it shone so bright then
remember when we were just kids
doing what young kids did
it's so hard to believe that we were those people
how did we get so far away

the cop flashes a light in your eyes
you wonder if can empathize

with you laying there covered in mud
mixed in with the piss and the blood

the night is your only shade
protects you from the life you betrayed

you used to be the queen of the ball
don't know how you ended up so small

about

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario

Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more

Tom Savage recommends:

Foolish Frank
by Frontier Folk Nebraska

This is some good ol' fashioned rock and roll! Nice hooks with the right amount of garage band roughness. Tom Savage

Enderness
by A.A. Bondy

This is what an album should be. A collection of songs that, when placed in a particular order, create a fulfilling listening experience, far greater than that of the individual pieces of music. Tom Savage
