From the recording Jack Pine and The Fire
Track #2 - a droning dirge about worry and the state of the world
Lyrics
So the voters have cast their stones
At the wisest and left their bones
Ooooo…mama what if reason gets cut loose
From where I stand I can Still here their drones
All of our fears dressed up in dissonant tones
oooo...mama what if i fall out of tune
I gather these up and from time to time
Speak them to her as we sip our wine
She says oooo...darling everybody gets those blues
Everybody gets those blues
When my motions have reached their top speed
And my mind has planted its last seed
Oooo…mama what if my best ain't enough
When our history strikes its final blow
And my future finds no place to go
Oooo…mama what if goin' gets too tough
-
It's through our stories that we're guided higher
Through the depths of darkness lit by fire
Ooo…mama sing a song to help me through
I gather these up and from time to time
Speak them to her as we sip our wine
She says oooo...darlin everybody gets those blues
Everybody gets those blues
Mama these any everybody's blues
Darlin' everybody gets those blues.
