October Thorns - Flotsam & Jetsam

What was it, something that I realised

A need inside me took me by surprise

I see two sides now, I just don’t know

Subjected now an addict of control

Mirror yourself if you can even try

Gaze deep into god’s sleepy eye

Arabesques in my cold burn freeze

Deliverance upon my dirty knees

Dominator life’s blood, my need

The balance in my hands, the life blood seed

Underneath a hood of stars, I realised just who you are

Oh, my October thorns in my side

It makes me wonder will the need subside

You miscalculated the algebra of need

I died for you, now why shouldn’t you return the favour

You’ve come to learn junkie of control

The more you push the stuff, the more it flows

Twist the plot of demand supply

A grim reflection of both you and I

Now I know just who you really are

I realised just who I really am

Now I know just who I really am

I wrote this little rock 'n' roll riff at 3:00 AM in the

morning, sitting in my room.

Took it to practice the

next day, arranged it, Mr. Gregory had lyrics a few

weeks later.

Here it is.
