about

Yet yet another 1-hour song, written and recorded between 3:40 and 4:45 on Sunday, August 5. (Yes, I know that's more than an hour...)

lyrics

It's not my fault, I got some bad advice
it was not my idea to end up here
I've got voices that warn me or entice
that only I hear, one in each ear

The angel on my shoulder
says the bottle won't treat me like it should
the angel on my shoulder
says the pipe'll do you no good
but the devil on my shoulder
he says hit it again
oh, I don't know why, but the devil always wins

It's not my fault, my guidance went astray
it was late at night, I just stepped out for a bite
next thing I know, I'm trying to walk a line
there's a flashing light, I guess I swerved to the right

The angel on my shoulder
says the bottle won't treat me like it should
the angel on my shoulder
says the pipe'll do you no good
but the devil on my shoulder
he says hit it again
oh, I don't know why, but the devil always wins
