Another track that was in mid-release at the time of the Great Hard Drive Massacre of 2004 – on this track, the production quality is a little better, the vocal sits a little bit better in the mix, and the gentle fuzziness of a Marshall 9001 pre-amp really helps the guitar part sing.

it’s been years since I felt like this
with a sweet little honey on my wrist
won’t you come stand with me in the night
before the clutch of our death-grip comes tight
Oh my dragon
oh my dragon you can come with me
I don’t know where I’m standing, on a cliff
with your heart in my hands,
I will decide
we are vultures in a state of denial
when you talked with everybody at the bar
the other night I laughed
cuz I know you’re coming home
and that’s what I planned
oh baby this time it’s gonna be rough
I don’t think I can fly any further, myself, oh no
it’s been years since I felt you in my heart
and this ocean’s only tearin’ me apart
it’s been years since I felt like this
with the sweetest little honey and she’s
pulling on my wrist
oh sweet dragon child dragon child my friend
I wanna be with you until the bitter end
I won’t die, I won’t die
but you gotta stay with me now now
I know I’ve been f*cking up a lot but
it’s the way I am
