lyrics

It’s coming full circle
Your own Siddhartha
Chased your tail for years
All around the country
Her ghost is on the train
A vapor in the rain
You faced, you failed, you fear
Another disappointment
Listen what your momma said
You drive around until you’re dead
You’re gonna go and drive yourself crazy
Scattered is a family
Shattered by the tragedy
Why you gotta drive yourself crazy
The pattern of the carpet
Flaking of the paint
Sliver of the moon
Candle of a saint
The traffic on the beltway
Is dripping through the rainy day
Capitol building bleed
Doling out the violence
Listen what your momma say
You drive around until your dead
You’re gonna go and drive yourself crazy
Shattered is a family
Scattered by the tragedy
But why you gotta drive yourself crazy?
It’s coming full circle
Your own Siddhartha
Chased your tail for years
All around the country

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red
