lyrics

Drifting through the town, kicking dust up off the ground
A stranger to this land, just to wander relief bound
Three ounces of gold in pouches are not enough to make the rough old traveler tough 
As he falls into the sand

Oh how? Not now. Is there anyone around?
In the shell of a hollow sound, a man beneath a shroud

Eccentric billionaire, no traces in his hair
Travelin’ alone the drone of home leaves a trail of broken bones
Hot iron pocket, a leaden rocket, meant to keep the gold in hand
The salesman’s plan is already down the tracks

Oh how? Not now. Is there anyone around?
In the shell of a hollow sound, a man beneath a shroud

Steam and dream for what it’s worth, competence is in it’s hearse
Away from the right and towards the wrong, a land without the haze and smog

Facade of a medicine man, trying to teach him what he can
Telling him he’s not alone, but he will never make it home

Right now, here’s how, with everyone around
In the shell of a hollow sound, a man beneath a shroud
