lyrics

lord, you are no friend of mine
a waste of tears and a waste of time
smiles, though! I am leaving soon
and I'm not afraid to die

lord, you talk too god damn much
of where we'll go when the Earth is such
that we can't find her other holes
to force ourselves into
and I'm not afraid to die

take me young, for I am done
tasting the devil's bitter tongue
we've allowed to slither down our throats
now choke with me

lord, it seems you just won't quit
talking loud and talking shit
if best intentions lead to hell
what the hell am I to do, except shake me fist at you?

lord, will this life trample me?
or will I have luck and money?
I've tasted dirt off the devil's hooves
though not enough to die
not enough to die

take me young, for I am done
tasting the devil's bitter tongue
we've allowed to slither down our throats
now choke with me

it took no time to memorize
flight patterns in midnight skies
should've left home a year ago
now I don't know when I'll go

take me young, for I am done
tasting the devil's bitter tongue
we've allowed to slither down our throats
now choke with me
choke with me, my love

about

Jim From The Moon Los Angeles, California

At times Jim from the Moon plays acoustic tunes about girls, the devil, and similar distractions. They flow in the vein of Loudon Wainwright III and Neil Young, sung with a voice soaked in years of Irish storytelling. Other times he expels far-out electric rock that is primal and space-ward, with heavy, psychedelic sounds. Both sides are focused, catchy, and ready to be eaten by your ears... ... more
