I can't say it any better than this, so I'll just post the lyrics:
there's so many ghosts out there on these streets
I always hate to ponder who's under those sheets
every little thing is temporary
if I stay here any longer I'll end up very very scary
it's just a general freak that is boiling in me
I'm terrified what it's gonna dislodge
I done shit everywhere that there is to eat
guess it's time for me to get the fuck out of Dodge
I bent over backwards to misbehave
It's a holy wonder I just didn't flip on over into an early grave
I showed my behind so frequently
My dear old mother she can't even recognize me

Great lyrics, indeed. That voice may take a little getting used to, though.

he looks like he was thinking these lyrics when his photo was taken, he is shying away for the Jaberwockee from 'Alice -Through the looking glass'

Did VIC just take too much acid or something? Dude looks wicked horrified of his own reflection....so much so, I had to post another comment so you'd know I was creeped out....he looks so dang jumpy....BOOOO!!!! "Ahhhhh!!"....that was Vic screaming and running away lika-da-little-girl.
VAN, you tha MAN
My Trusted MOGs
Yeah - I agree it does need to grow on you, and it will if you let it. Dermahrk, you like the most eclectic of voices, I thought you would jump on this one right away.
TD: LOL!!! No sweat... Yeah... he does look like that... one of things I like about him is that he's honest and brutally frank at the same time - a rare combination.
My Trusted MOGs
rare indeed VAN....I liked it a lot
My Trusted MOGs
Amazingly truthful and powerful lyrics. I only get 30 seconds of the song though arg arg.

Sorry - I use Rhapsody...
My Trusted MOGs
luv him long time! i discovered Vic Chesnutt and Victoria Williams at the same time in the mid-nineties and knew right away they were keepers.
My Trusted MOGs
poe: glad to hear you've been enjoying him - I will check out Victoria Williams... thanks for the heads up...

My only regret is that being an anti-USofAn I didn't get the full song.
My Trusted MOGs
sorry mate I hear you- but I can't even find the original CD that I own of this one... and have been using Rhapsody for all my music listening for the past couple of years - at 12.99 (with the ability to go mobile with it too) it really can't be beat... saving me thousands of dollars a year in buying CDs...
