Wild Turkey - A Wilhelm Scream

For all that passes, and for all that kills me slow

I raise a glass to thank you

A friend at the bottom of the bottle

Thoughts wander back to you

My sanctuary, and to the bar room that you stand in

A window’s watch for many

I won’t stand behind and fight it all alone in reprise

I saw my dreams were bleeding out

Teeth falling out

My recourse was blind

Rollin' with the semis; bastards laughing wild

As miles got left behind

Rev it up — never enough

I’m ready now. Ready now.

My dreams are drugged — not long enough

Steady now. Steady now.

«When it’s right, it’s right» it’s said

So leave «Well enough» alone

Pack it up. I’ve had enough.

Cause' this place is the reason I am now a non-believer

It must be hard to look me in the eyes, I know

I can tell by what you say you’re frustrated

I feel a little on edge, now I’m faded

My dreams are drugged and not long enough

For all that passes and for all those in the know

I raise one up to spite you

Wishin' I was back there at Borden now

Though it doesn’t mean that much to me

In this wasted state of mind

I know the break if dawn will recall it all

But I’ll get to sleep just fine tonight to lullabies and cannons outside
