From the Brimstorm Epos. A 12-bar slow blues, Sonny Boy Williamson-style. Dashes - means pauses designed to syncopate the last words.


Green Grog Blues

I'll tell it straight, i could live with being - dead
Yes, i'll tell it straight, i could live with - being dead
Freed from these knots of forgotten thoughts unsaid

The only two colors that my eyes - can see
Mm, ohly' two colors my eyes ca - aaaa - n see
Is early evenin' overcast and muddy absinth - green

I could wear out myself during the course - of a day
Could wear out myself during the course of - just one day
Trying to fit in the norm of hiding my costume - away

My nightmares are now daymares they told me so - last night
My nightmares are now daymares they woke me up and told me last night
Said... "we'd like to make a statement: we're not giving in - without fight"

Now, i can see - around the stars there's a relief - of fog
I can see - around the stars there's a relief of - fog
A bad omen calling me to drink a cup of green-pepper poison - grog

Green - pepper - poison - grog
Green - pepper - poison - grog
Mhmmm... yeah...
