lyrics

It takes too long
to get where I like.
There's no gas in the car.
Ain't no tires on my bike.
I could use a vacation
to get away from these jerks.
I could use some more towels
and a T.V. that works.

Sometimes I fall down,
when I do I skin my knees.
I need special tools
to cut down trees.
In day my skin burns
and at night I freeze.
Seems it's all harder
than it needs to be.

And the greatest curse of all is reason.

Everyone ever hates me
and everyone sucks.
When I take the stage
no one wishes me luck.
The music don't move me,
not the way that it should.
Who could ever be happy?
Who could ever be good?

I could use some money.
I could do with some love.
I could use a sign, a sense, a touch
from God above.
I feel like a whale
always holding my breath.
The depths are vague, and void, and
reminiscent of death.

Hey, I'm Trader Jack. I live in Chesapeake, VA. I've been writing and recording for a while now and I just started playing live (open mics) which is pretty exciting. Fire bath will eventually (someday) be a full album. Plumbing the Depths is a dark little folk EP, I'm a Boss is a EDM single, SongFu and SpinTunes are song writing contests. Oh, and there are covers now. Enjoy! ... more
