  • Lyrics of the Month: December 2014 – Clay Pigeons

    I’m going down to the greyhound station
    Gonna get a ticket to ride
    Gonna find that lady with 2 or 3 kids
    And sit down by her side
    And ride until the sun comes up and down around me about 2 or 3 times
    smoking cigarettes in the last seat trying
    to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
    And get along with it all
    Go down where people say ya’ll
    Sing a song with a friend
    Change the shape that I’m in
    And get back in the game
    And start playing again

    I’d like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
    I might go back down to Texas I might go somewhere that I’ve never been
    And get up in the morning and go out at night
    And I won’t have to go home
    Get used to being alone
    Change the words to this song
    And start singing again

    I’m tired of running round looking for answers to questions that I
    already know
    I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go
    Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle
    again
    Feed the pigeons some clay
    Turn the night into day
    Start talking again when I know what to say

    I’m going down to the greyhound station
    Gonna get a ticket to ride
    Gonna find that lady with 2 or 3 kids
    And sit down by her side
    And Ride until the sun comes up and down around about 2 or 3 times
    smoking cigarettes in the last seat
    trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet

    And get along with it all
    Go down where people say ya’ll
    Feed the pigeons some clay
    Turn the night into day
    Start talking again when I know what to say
