Children of the Wasteland

New song, out sometime in Fall 2009
copyright 2009 Cheryl Anderson

Well we carve our hearts into the concrete stars
and the railroad tracks beyond the penitentiary bars
of the city we talk about leaving far
behind like our bad habits blowin’ on a clothes line
I used to fall in love with everyone
but I only trust those who don’t ever run
away from the truth and away from my mind
If I’m moving fast you better be by my side
when the gloaming lights of the sun enter night
when Mercury descends and the books can’t write
this world from the wrongs and all of my songs
start screaming from the calendars, this is the Long…

Countdown honey…
Count down honey
The Long Countdown honey, better move on…

You point to a light moving up in the sky
They can’t tell me that this is all in my mind
There’s too much laughter from the man behind
the mask so you better start swingin’ from a strong vine
Or they’ll lower you to a source of food
fuel for the Beast under which their world moves
so if you write your fiction, tell the Truth
cause those who say they know it are lying to you

And the dogs of war are crying for more
Don’t let them get close to the door
you don’t have to fight, just don’t ignore
all the signs all around, crashing through the storm

Countdown honey…
Count down honey
The Long Countdown honey, better move on…

So what if you’ve got a violent side?
All of us got it in us to be the bad guy
Just kiss me again and hold me tight
and all that has been done wrong will come round right…

Countdown honey…
Count down honey
The Long Countdown honey, better move on…
